Kid’s Video “Who Made Thanksgiving a Holiday?“ Read James 1:17 This verse in James reminds us that every good thing is from God. The verse also tells us that God never changes – he is the same, and his gifts are the same, no matter what is going on. What an important reminder about God’s nature and how perfectly he loves us! When President Abraham Lincoln declared the first Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, he wanted all Americans to remember the source of their blessings and gifts. Even in the middle of a horrible war (the Civil War), Lincoln knew that the people had a lot to be thankful for. God was still present and working – and blessing his people – during the war. In his proclamation making Thanksgiving a holiday in in 1863, he said that the year was full of “the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies,” and that “They are gracious gifts of the Most High God.” Can you think of some of the biggest blessings in your life this year? What is something good that has happened? Did you see God show His beauty and love in the middle of something hard? Let’s share those things together, and praise God for his good gifts to us.

Probably the greatest thing I can think to be thankful this year is finding C-3 and becoming part of the family!!! Thru C-3’s teaching and leadership we learned how great serving our Risen Savior can be and how much He loves us and every day we grow more in His Grace. I’ve seen so many things come together in my life this year and when I look back on this year it is amazing absolutely amazing. I have learned the importance of a prayer life and thru that I’ve seen prayer’s answered, I have learned about the great commission that Jesus left us to continue until He returns, I’ve learned how great Gods love for us is and experienced a closer walk with Him and thru that been able to see many miracles and healings in my family as they to are beginning to seek a relationship with God also. Words can never explain the overwhelming joy we have from being a part of the C-3 family, thanks you guys your awesome!!!!!
