Good Friday....never fully understood what that holiday was for anyway.
Thanksgiving...that's not really about God, but the Pilgrims & Indians. |
Thanksgiving was to thank God for making it through the first winter without dying of starvation or freezing to death. Today we celebrate it as a day to 'thank God' for all the blessings in our lives - our family, our health, our friends.
Good Friday was the day Jesus was crucified for our sins. Easter was the day he rose from the dead to live with his Father in heaven.
