November is National Gratitude month in the United States. It represents a time in which we are encouraged to set aside specific moments in our life to reflect on our blessings and what we are thankful for. When we consider our blessings as a nation, it’s important to recognize where those blessings came from, and why we have received them as a nation. More than 3500 years ago God established a relationship with a man named Abram, it is through that relationship and through that unconditional promise of blessings that we enjoy the blessings which we have in America.
