TWO DIFFERENT
HOLIDAYS WITH A SIMILAR MEANING
This is a message
about Thanksgiving and Chanukah
It’s a rare occurrence
that they fall on the same day
Both holidays have
the message giving thanks to God
Who makes all this
possible lifting Him up as we pray
Most people know why
we celebrate Thanksgiving
It’s the story of the
Pilgrims journey to this land
But it’s also about
the freedoms that we enjoy today
Something that a lot
of people don’t understand
For the Jew Chanukah is also about giving
thanks
But that’s only half of
the story of this great holiday
When Judah Maccabee’s
army defeated the Assyrians
They went to the
synagogue to give thanks and to pray
Wanting to light
candles to God to commemorate the victory
Sadly there was only
enough oil to last for a single day
But the oil lasted
for eight by the time the runner returned
It was a miracle that
only the Lord our God could covey
In essence both of
these holidays portray a similar message
Giving thanks to God
for all of the blessings that both enjoy
We must also observe
and obey all of the laws given to us by
The Lord our God
Jehovah Jireh Price of Peace Yeshua Adonai
