Christian Artists Send Their Thanksgiving Greetings

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, Christian music artists and Christian leaders share their greetings. Thanksgiving is a national holiday that honors the historical 1621 harvest feast shared between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people. The modern holiday centers around themes of gratitude, family, and giving thanks for blessings. 

Christy Nockels:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from our hearts to yours! It has been an exceptionally hard year but we stand grateful for the ways that God has made Himself known to us, even in the loss and in the unknown.

We've seen breakthrough in some things that we contended in prayer for. Yes, we had to learn to wait (yet again) and no, it didn't quite look like the breakthrough we anticipated but nevertheless, there was a shift and we saw not only His hand in it, but His heart FOR us and over us.

He is good. He is faithful. He never grows weary. He is always working, even when we don't yet perceive it. I wonder, how has He made Himself known to you this year? Where have you seen breakthrough that you're grateful for? 

Chris Tomlin:

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours...I love this moment each year to pause and count our blessings on blessings on blessings. We have so much to be grateful for... 

Danny Gokey:

What are you grateful for today??? For us to enjoy life, we MUST be thankful. In Romans 1:21-22 it says that because they did not show gratitude, their minds were darkened. When you have a negative attitude, you can't see the good that is right in front of you.

Even when things are hard, there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for - the breath in our lungs, the beating of our hearts, our homes, our loved ones ... So, find something to give thanks for today, and every day, and see how it will change your perspective!  

Katy Nichole:

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I am so grateful today and just can't believe how blessed I am to be surrounded by the BEST people! I wish I could fit more photos in because I just love my friends/family so much. I feel so loved and I just want to say that I'm feeling grateful. I'm grateful for my friends/fam and also I'm grateful for YOU guys! I hope you have a blessed day.

Steven Curtis Chapman:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! So this has been a strange one...After days of prepping to "throw down" one of the great Chapman Family Thanksgiving Feasts Mary Beth is famous for, we both got very sick during the night (I'll withhold details, but not fun whatsoever!) So with a beautifully set table, a fridge full of tasty goodness, we had to call all the kids and Grandkids this morning to announce..."Thanksgiving has been cancelled!" Ok, not Thanksgiving actually, but our plans to celebrate had to be cancelled, and (a very very sad) Mary Beth & I have spent the better part of the day in bed trying to rest & recover.

So while I'm laying there feeling very not Thanksgiving-y, I start to ponder this day through all the different lenses that people may be seeing it through, (dear friends who are facing their first Thanksgiving with an empty chair at the table where their son should've been to a family celebrating their first Thanksgiving with their new little boy and all the fun and joy that brings...all the sad, happy, broken stories that we are living in that don't necessarily match the tv version of a Happy Thanksgiving. Well you know what happens when I ponder...songs happen!

So I "rallied" and sat down today to share this one with you. Now, this is where I'm very tempted to insert many disclaimers about how "unfinished" the song is, and how "not great of a performance" it is, or how tomorrow when I'm feeling more like myself I may really second guess this decision, but with all of that as it is, I decided to share this with you all anyway...in hopes that whatever "condition" you find yourself in this Happy Thanksgiving Day, you will find encouragement, hope, and much to be thankful for along with me. Thanks for letting me share! 

Legacy Five:

From the whole L5 team, we want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! We are extremely thankful for each one of you and what you have meant to our ministry over the past 25 years. We pray you have a wonderful day surrounded by the ones that you love!  

Tasha Owens:

This Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to say how truly grateful I am for YOU. Your encouragement, support, and engagement have fueled this journey, and I'm so blessed to have you along for the ride.

Thank you for letting my music be a part of your life-I can't wait to keep writing songs that inspire and free your inner patriot. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love and gratitude.

Lynda Randle:

Family is such a blessing from the Lord!! I'm so thankful and grateful to God for giving me such a wonderful family and the gift of gathering together on Thanksgiving.

Natalie Grant:

"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."1 Cor 15:57
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. 

Brian Free and Assurance:

Rhett Walker:
