Thanksgiving With Meaning

It is the custom of many Christians to bow their heads in public places and give thanks for the food that has been placed before them. I have had scores of waiters and waitresses tell me that when we bowed our heads, it was the first time they had ever seen that happen in their restaurant.

Millions never pause to give a word of thanks to God for the food provided. Few homes have a moment of thanksgiving at the beginning of the meal or at any other time of the day. Even at Thanksgiving time only a minority will pause and give thanks to God.

Thanksgiving is recognition of a debt that cannot be paid. We express thanks, whether or not we are able otherwise to reimburse the giver. When thanksgiving is filled with true meaning and is not just the formality of a polite “thank you,” it is the recognition of dependence.

-Billy Graham

Giving Tuesday (November 30, 2021) is just around the corner!
While cash gifts remain the most popular, we invite you to consider if a more creative giving solution might work for you.

We would be happy to guide you through a securities gift or charitable IRA rollover gift. Many of our donors give one larger amount and divide it between many ministries they love. We are glad to assist with that administration.  Contact your regional representative for more information.
