Dear all, what else but a reminder from the divingly inspired Word of God: "(20)For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. (21) For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened." -Romans 1:20-21

This is one of the first things that come to mind when I think of giving 'thanks'.  When we continue with life living a life which is not clearly, visibally, coherantly, physically, audibally thankful to God... a flag must be raised and a change must occur, lest your heart become foolish and darkened. 

There's plenty to be thankful for... and it's not just 'thankful', but it's thanking God.  Remember, actions validate the thanksgiving... so, LSF Santa Clara, whats your action?
