Thanksgiving Regardless

It doesn't matter what has happened in life.  A life falling apart. Thanksgiving.  A heart torn apart. Thanksgiving. A bad day gone worse. Thanksgiving. An undoable schedule. Thanksgiving.  Loss. Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving regardless.  Not based on circumstances.  But based on Christ.  The Conqueror of Circumstances.
