Thanksgiving for just one day?

I couldn't let a holiday titled Thanksgiving go by without voicing my completely unsolicited opinion!  This particular blog is dedicated to all my brothers and sisters of the "Occupy" movement.  I am thankful for you.  I am thankful that you remind me that working hard is rewarded.  I may not make as much as I think I should but on the last business day of every month, my employer thanks me for my hard work and dedication with a paycheck.  Every morning, I try to take just a few minutes and thank God for my ability to work my job and support my family.  When I get the opportunity, I thank veterans for the fact that I live in a country where through my hard work and their dedication, I can work in any industry I desire and worship God.
You, my friends of this "revolution" as I have heard some of you call it; are motivating me more than ever to pray even harder than ever.  I pray for you.  I pray for those people that are not as fortunate as you and I.  I pray for those people that make the decisions in our government.  I may not agree with them very often, but if you would read your Bible, you would understand that they are put in place by the will of God.  They are there to fulfill His will, even though many of us may not understand what that is.  He calls that faith. 
God tells me, "Kevin, you don't have to understand why I do what I do.  You just have to have faith that I want what is best for you."  My only real "job" on this earth is to trust Him and know that, in the end, God has a plan and when I follow His plan, it will work every time.  If I come up with a plan of my own, as long as it is in line with His will, it will work every time.  If you don't believe me, look up Proverbs 16:3.  If you don't have a Bible handy, look it up on biblegateway.com.
To my family and friends out there - I am thankful for every one of you.  God has brought everyone of you into my life for a purpose.  I pray that God blesses you beyond your expectations today and everyday.  Don't try to understand His plan, just have the faith to follow it.  I love you all.
