CrossFit 864 – CLOSED TODAY

“Happy Thanksgiving”

Anyone interested in a fun run on Thanksgiving morning meet at CrossFit 864 at 8:00 a.m. and we will head out as a group on a 5k run/walk. It is not a race so we will try to stay together at a moderate pace as much as possible. Contact Mike or Jay if you have any questions. What a great way to get a jump start on burning turkey!

Day 67 of the “100 burpee challenge”

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
-Colossians 3:17

On October 3, 1863, Abraham Lincoln proclaimed, by Act of Congress, an annual National Day of Thanksgiving “on the last Thursday of November, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.” In this Thanksgiving proclamation, our 16th President says that it is…

“…announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord… But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, by the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own… It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people…”

So it is that on Thanksgiving Day each year, Americans give thanks to Almighty God for all His blessings and mercies toward us throughout the year.

What are you thankful for? Do we spend more time complaining about our problems or the things we don’t have instead of giving thanks for the many blessings that surround us each day? Take a minute to write down 3 things that you are really thankful for right at this moment. If you are like me then your list will go way beyond 3 without spending a lot of time thinking about it.

“Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action.”
-W. J. Cameron

We are thankful that we get to share a little time with you each day. We enjoy the energy and excitement that takes place during every workout as you strive to reach personal goals. Thanks for allowing us this opportunity! We are truly surrounded by an awesome group of athletes.

Thanks,
BE STRONG!
