thanksgiven

Everbody know thanksgiven is comming up. This is a big deal to us. there's only 5 or 6 whos left in our family who can get together for a whole day and just enjoy each others company. My question is this: Is it against God's truth to do this?

Now come on Darren :) Is there a scripture in the bible that says do not associate and enjoy a day of celebration or reflection with family or friends? If there is, I need to find a different God.

No Craig there is not. Not to my knowledge. But I thought that any Holiday that wasn't one of God's Holiday was a pagan day and it was against God's truths.
While I am at it what's the difference on the celebration of thanksgiven and Christmas's, Halloween are they not all pagan holidays that we celebrate? Listen this is what I was taught and with almost everything I was taught it was wrong. So take it easy.

Hi Darren,
I remember a while back I think it was at the Mobile Conference in '05 we were having an informal chat with Ray and a few others and this subject of Thanksgiving Day came up (the Conference was in November that year). Ray had mentioned that if indeed any holiday celebration was approved by God this would be the one, it was always a feast dedicated to all the things God provides, it is a day of celebrating our family, friends and His provisions to us all. It has no root in paganism nor does it celebrate a selfish attitude.
We should be thankful each and every day for sure but we can't always get together with all our family and friends to share our thanks together.
If you think about it that answer makes a lot of sense.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Peace,
Joe

Before I book my flight I wonder what Longhorn is serving? ;D
