• "[I]n 1933 a French premier ought to have said (and if I had been the French premier I would have said it): 'The new Reich Chancellor is the man who wrote Mein Kampf, which says this and that. This man cannot be tolerated in our vicinity. Either he disappears or we march!' But they didn't do it. They left us alone and let us slip through the risky zone, and we were able to sail around all dangerous reefs. And when we were done, and well-armed, better than they, then they started the war!" — Joseph Goebbels, Germany's Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda from 1933-1945.
• Obama has been the "Chamberlain" in this 21st-century version of Great Britain's and France's appeasement of an evil and dangerous regime.

Thanks Giving--Benefits

 

The Benefits of “ThanksLiving”

 

Ephesians 1:16; 5:20; Philippians 4:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:18

 

Sometimes it is not only right, but it is beneficial to express gratitude to another. Beth Rittler decided to contact people in her past that had been meaningful to her. She wrote letters or made telephone calls to many old friends and acquaintances. One letter went to a popular boy in her class who had paid attention to her—a shy, awkward girl with low self-esteem—even though they were not really friends. She located him and sent a letter. He responded with a phone call and now, 25 years after they were schoolmates, they are husband and wife.

Thanksgiving is a discipline that carries far beyond one holiday. We can make it a lifestyle. “Thanksliving” will bring grace to others and benefit to ourselves.

Gratitude is Good for Us

 

 

Thankfulness Is Good for You

Psalms 106:1; 136:1–3; Ephesians 1:16; 5:20; Philippians 4:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Perhaps one reason it is God’s will for us to be thankful is that it is good for us.

A 2009 study again showed that being thankful can improve your life.

 At the University of California, Davis, professor Robert Emmons said, “Those who offer gratitude are less envious and resentful. They sleep longer, exercise more and report a drop in blood pressure.” Emmons is the author of the book Thanks! How Practicing Gratitude Can Make You Happier, and an earlier book that describes gratitude as a “new science.”

 Brenda Shoshanna is a New York psychologist who agrees. “You can’t be depressed and grateful at the same time,” said Shoshanna, the author of 365 Ways to Give Thanks: One for Every Day of the Year. “It makes a person physically, mentally, in every way healthier.”

Add a book entitled Prison to Praise by author Merlin R Carothers made a remarkable case for not just thanks but heartfelt worship and praise to God. His particular spiritual journey from a cynical, bitter and hostile soldier to chaplain, missionary and to successful author.
