13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the Lord, and it shall be the priest’s that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

Are you having a traditional Thanksgiving this year? That is a question may will be asked and ask leading up to the holiday. But what is a traditional thanksgiving? Is it gathering with family, with friends, a huge meal, watching a parade and then a football game? That is what most in our nation think of as a traditional thanksgiving, but is it? Above are the fist and last mention of the word thanksgiving in the Bible and I cannot find family, a parade, or a football game. Thanksgiving, a traditional thanksgiving is centered upon the Lord. The first mention looks at the Old Testament peace offering, the last at praises being heaped upon our Savior in heaven. That my friend is a traditional thanksgiving. What will be your focus this year. Even if you are alone you can have a traditional thanksgiving.
