A Christian View of Thanksgiving
Beyond the feast and the football, Thanksgiving points to something deeper: gratitude to the God from whom every good gift comes.
For Christians, thanksgiving is not only a holiday but a way of life, recognizing that all we have is a gift from God's hand, and returning our thanks to Him. Gratitude reorders the heart, turning our eyes from what we lack to the goodness that surrounds us.
'In every thing give thanks,' the Bible says, not for every thing, but in every thing, trusting that God is good even in hard seasons.
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18 · King James Version (public domain)
