“ Thanksgiving is a season that is very much in accord with the themes and teachings of Jesus Christ. ”
Christmas is the antithesis of Thanksgiving. Christmas is pretty much a man-made holiday.
~ John Clayton
The denominational world tries to pressure its members to focus on the birth of Christ, but in doing so layers of guilt are imposed, and competition gets complicated as one Christmas program tries to outdo the other.
All holidays can be good times.
Thanksgiving is a time when the world gets to see just how blessed and how workable the Christian system is. The emphasis is not on giving or buying, but on being thankful and expressing that appreciation to God and to one another.
