—Deuteronomy 16:13-17
by: Linda Harris.
Also called the Feast of Ingathering, the Feast of Tabernacles marked the end of the harvest. The purpose was to give thanks to God who had provided in the past (during their journey to the Promised Land) and for the future (by providing abundant crops).
In North America, Thanksgiving is celebrated once a year, but gratitude is beneficial every day. Tell God at least five things for which you are grateful today. Do the same tomorrow and each day, and see how your attitude changes.
