Ken Gardner tweeted this last night: I’m old enough to remember a world without Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, or Cyber Monday. And yet people still shopped!
I laughed when I read that! Yep, me too! Didn’t have all those so called “special days” growing up and we survived and the economy chugged along! And these so called “marketing experts” thought it would be wise to open up on Thanksgiving, what they did was rob Peter to pay Paul, sales were down on Friday because they were open on Thanksgiving Day! GREED! Look what we American’s have become! People dying shopping! Fighting with each other, trampling over each other! I guess possessions, things, treasures on earth have become so important to the American people.
Matthew 6:20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
My prayer is that Americans swarm God’s House today, Sunday, like they did on Thanksgiving Day and Friday.
I fear the shopping mall has become the new American church. A true SHAME! Shopping for greed (on both sides of the fence) on Thanksgiving Day when we should be shopping for God! Oh how I miss the ‘BLUE LAWS’.
