Famous Phrases from the Bible
Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is an annual holiday (Holy Day) in late November that commemorates the good harvest of the Pilgrims in 1621. Thanksgiving became an annual national holiday in 1863 with a proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln. The idea of expressing gratitude for God's mercies and provision is a major theme in the Bible. Saying "thank-you" to the Lord is a daily, almost continual thing - an attitude and way of life. We walk on God's earth, eat His food, breath His air, behold His glory in His creation, all of which should cause us to erupt in thanksgiving and praise.
