What memories do you have of Thanksgiving? When I think of Thanksgiving I see the blessings that God has given. He has brought families back together. He has mended broken relationships, broken hearts. What are you thankful for? Thanksgiving brings families, friends, loved ones, and most important are people back to God. Share good thanksgiving blessings with someone you haven't spoken to in a long time.
Lets look at other things that Thanksgiving brings together. I see turkey and stuffing. Sometimes sweet potatoes and marshmallows. How about mashed potatoes and gravy? Rolls and butter. Something about turkey and sweet tea. Oooh here's a good one, pie and cool whip. After thanksgiving we have miracle whip and turkey sandwiches. What does thanksgiving bring together in your house?

Bringing the invisible into vision
Only God can bring the invisible into vision. Romans 4:17 says that God brings things from the non-existent to exist. In Genesis it states that we are created in His image. As we are created inHis image then we too have the ability to "speak it as if it were." Abraham was confirmed in his faith to allow his descendants to receive the blessing of Abraham. He believed that the land given and the family that will out number the grains of sand will be brought about. Abraham had to believe that where God would lead him would be the destination. Hebrews 11 illustrates many stories of faith that resulted in a partial blessing because God has so much more planned for us. Jeremiah speaks of plans to prosper us and not harm us.
What do you speak into existence? We hear that you are what you eat. We also hear that if you say something long enough to yourself that you will start to believe it. We know this to be true from how statistics demonstrate children who have been mentally abused. It takes a long road to undo the damage of a mentally restrained person and bring them into a more normal lifestyle. Remember you mother saying, "if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all!" This statement holds true for yourself also. Again, what do you speak into existence?
