Giving thanks unto God is good for us to do. We give thanks because of:
1. Our Situation: Things could be a lot worse than they are.
2. Our Supplies: God supplies all our needs and more.
3. Our Strength: “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”
4. Our Song: He puts a song in our heart.
There are at least five reasons each of us have for giving thanks:
1. God’s Word, Psalm 119:105.
2. God’s Works, Psalm 107:8.
3. God’s Will, Ephesians 1:5.
4. God’s Wonders, Psalm 105:5.
5. God’s Ways, Psalm 18:32.
This Thanksgiving take time to show your thankfulness by doing something for someone that needs encouragement or friendship.
It is impossible to be thankful when you are always reaching for the emptiness of this world. Think about the meaning of this little verse that Tom McCanless shared at the Association.
We pray without crying, Give without sacrificing, And live without fasting, Is it any wonder that we Sow without reaping.
