A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, November 21st

Good Morning, God
Yea, Lord, this week is finally hear, the week we officially begin the Christmas buying season.  We're all planning how, when and where we're going to spend Black Friday this week and get the great deals.  We've been training for this moment, how to push, shove, maneuver and out-last everybody else in the parking lot, on the sidewalk and down the aisles.  Ah, yes, we're ready for the bargains!
What's that, Lord?  You say there's another more important day first?  You say it happens on Thursday, the day before Black Friday?  You say it is a day to stop what we are doing and give thanks for everything?  Lord, what fun is that?  We much prefer the "bargain battles!"
And the Lord says "In all things give thanks.  Give thanks with a grateful heart.  Give thanks because I've given Jesus Christ.  Give thanks for the things that are true, honorable, just, pure, pleasing, commendable, excellent and worthy of praise.  Give thanks and know real joy!
In Jesus name, Amen
