Approximately 1517 people died in the Titanic; about 60 million casualties in WWII; approximately 620,000 Americans died in the Civil War. Those are staggering figures but imagine this: Each year over 10 million children die of hunger related issues, disease and complications .....that's EACH year, not just one event.
Before God created man, He created the angels. There was one angel in particular that was full of pride and thought himself better and more powerful even than... His maker. You remember what happened to him, along with 1/3 of the angels in Heaven. He was tossed out faster than a bolt of lightening.

"The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." Luke 10:17-18 NIV
When Satan was loosed on the earth, then came sin and death and pain and suffering and famine. We are a fallen nation because of the pride and arrogance of Satan, who at one time was one of the most favored angels God created.
As we set down with our families to a bountiful meal this Thanksgiving we need to be reminded that we are a blessed people even with all of the terrible events going on in our nation.
What can you and I do to alleviate some of the suffering caused by this "Fallen Angel"? Can you share your meal with someone in need? Can you take time during the Thanksgiving holiday to share God's love with someone? Can you give of the money God has blessed you with to help even one of those 10 million little children who will die of hunger, disease and complications this year?
"You insult your Maker when you exploit the powerless; when you’re kind to the poor, you honor God" Proverbs 14:31 MSG
And, being the loving God He is, He gives us this promise:
"He who is generous will be blessed, for he gives some of his food to the poor." Proverbs 22:9 NASB
