Thanksgiving Quotes to Fuel Your Faith*
- “Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God.”
– Jerry Bridges - “A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord ”
– John MacArthur - God is in control and therefore in everything I can give thanks.
-Kay Arthur - “See that you do not forget what you were before, lest you take for granted that grace and mercy you received from God and forget to express your gratitude each day.”
-Martin Luther - “God’s grace fills this home like sunlight through the window — quiet, steady, and always on time.” — Unknown.
Thanksgiving Scripture
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Mass Blackout, November 25th – December 2nd. This is anticipated to be the largest economic blackout protest in U.S. History! Prepare now for the moment…NO work (if you can abstain); No spending; No restaurants; No projects; No events; No Restaurants; No backing out!! To prevent “spike spending” before and after the blackout, we are asked that all participants purchase goods needed from community-owned stores and markets leading up to and after the dates.
