					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em id="gnt_postsubtitle" style="color:#666666;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.3em;line-height:1.2em;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;">So Much to be Thankful For!</em></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft  wp-image-8164" src="https://confidenceandjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/cornacopia.gif" alt="" width="82" height="82" />This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day.  For us Christians, every day is a day to give <span style="font-weight: 400;">praise and thanks be to our great big wonderful God!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">And how thankful we are for the completed work of our Lord and Savior, the Son of God, Jesus Christ &#8211; for his sterling example of a son serving his Father and for his accomplishing and completing God’s plan of salvation and redemption for us.  What a savior!</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"></p>
<p></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">And we&#8217;re very thankful for God&#8217;s wonderful and magnificent Word!
