O. Henry wrote, *“Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.”* With a holiday that has become inundated with football, TV shows and shopping, that statement seems to ring true. But with all these distractions, who has time to give thanks?

If you simplify it, Thanksgiving Day is just that: a day to give thanks. I believe we, as a nation, forget that a lot of the time.

This day is meant to recognize our blessings and acknowledge God with a grateful heart. I, for one, am very thankful to God that He has given me the freedom to worship Him though thanksgiving. **On behalf of Oak Hills Christian College, we want to wish you a blessed Thanksgiving!**

> Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. ***1 Chronicles 16:8***
