Thanksgiving: A secular holiday?

Happy Thanksgiving! I thank the Lord for His generous blessings in my life - food, family, friends, fun, fulfillment. I thank Him for this blessed land in which He chose to place me. I thank my God for revealing Himself to me so graciously every day. I thank Him for His faithfulness toward me even - no,especially - when my faith is weak. THANK YOU, LORD!

Thanksgiving was first celebrated to honor our God for blessing our forefathers. Later, it was declared a national CHRISTIAN holiday by none other than our American presidents! Wikipedia says, "While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday." NOT WITH MY FAMILY!! How about yours?

"O magnify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together!" Psalm 34:3
