A PSALM OF THANKSGIVING
1 Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
2Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;[1]
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Psalm 100 -NKJV
Real Meaning of Thanksgiving
The documents below clearly show the meaning of Thanksgiving as intended by the nation's Founders. Today in most public schools God is not mentioned and Thanksgiving becomes a historical event rather than a Christian celebration of thanks to God. Please pass the document links on to others or print them out for distribution.

We have some real Christmas specials at our Internet store. This is the last year we will operate out own private Internet store and we are moving out everything we can between now and Christmas as the lowest prices possible. All of our pricing on books is below cost! Some of the hot items we sold last year, such as our Nativity Plaque pictured at left, are being sold at cost plus shipping. We also have some of the custom made Religious Freedom Coalition Christmas ornament featuring "under God" 3 dimentionally imposed over the American flag. This is a beautiful 3" high ornament that can be purchased nowhere else! The ornament 
symbolizes our work to protect the words "under God" in the Pledge to our flag. These ornaments are almost sold out, we have only about 100 left!!! When they are gone they are gone. We also have men's Christian neck ties in our Christmas store. Proceeds from sales at our Internet store assist us in our work both in the United States and internationally.
