Thanksgiving, the very American holiday which was developed to give thanks
to God for all his many blessings is still observed today in the United States
but has developed into a much different event. Today, most of the so called
'Holiday', which is short for 'Holy Day', is spent focused on food, family and
football. In spite of this, many in America do give thanks to God on
Thanksgiving, and for some, it is the only time of the year that they give
thanks at all.
The Liberation Diet Book and our adjoining Liberation Wellness movement
encourages giving thanks at every meal. If we eat less often, eating becomes
more special, and we hope to some more spiritual. It is a reminder that God is faithfully
feeding us and providing for us every day of our lives, and bringing this fact
into mind is very healthy indeed. God Himself in the Bible emphasizes giving
thanks when we eat to sanctify the meal.
As the economy in America gets worse and worse, we should start appreciating
more and more the food, clothing and shelter that we have received continually,
and we can be thankful for this economic downturn as well, as we realize how
dependent we are on Him and His kindness every day.
Give thanks at every meal, and you will soon discover you have an integrated
opportunity to pray in our busy life, stress is reduced, and health is
improved. Gods’ recommendations involving food are always right, and giving thanks
at every meal is just one way to improve the quality of your life!
