Read Jeremiah 33:14-16. As often happens, the Sunday after Thanksgiving is also the First Sundayof Advent. Advent is the season in which we joyfully anticipate the coming of the baby Jesus. As we sit around the Thanksgiving table and think of everything we have to be thankful for, let's remember to be thankful that God's promise to us through the prophets of the Old Testament has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Our church theme for the First Sunday of Advent is "Praise!" Let's remember to praise God as we look forward to Christmas. Let's take some time out from our "Black Friday" madness to remember the true reason for the season: God's great gift to us in Jesus Christ, our "star child" and "earth child."
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And have a blessed Advent!
