Thanksgiving

The very first Thanksgiving happened in 1691.
Thanksgiving- The expression of gratitude, especially to God.
All throughout the Bible says "Give thanks." and "With Thanksgiving."
In the King James Version it is about 30 times. 
It is important to give thanks to God, daily. 
Yes our prayers and supplications are important but thanksgiving unto God is even MORE important. 
I learned a few years ago that before you pray, you should thank God for everything that he's done for you and is doing for you. 
Now, before I tell God my prayer requests, I make it my duty to  tell Him all that I am thankful for. 
What are YOU thankful for? 
Make a list of all that you are grateful for. 
I have a daily gratitude journal that I write 3 things that I am thankful for. 
As time has gone on, I find myself writing more than 3. 
God has tremendously blessed us all.
For one, He has YOUR NAME in the Lambs Book Of Life. 
Not everyone's name is in there. 
When you get saved, your name is automatically written into the Lambs Book Of Life. 
Some verses that go with Thanksgiving are:
Psalm 100:4 "Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name."
1 Thessalonians 5:18  "In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ."
