It's about giving. And thanks.
We are nourished by the giving and the gratefulness even more than we are nourished by the turkey and dressing and pumpkin pie.
Our souls are nourished by God.
It is in the giving of thanks that we acknowledge the existence of the One who formed us. The One who gives life.
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Matthew 26:26 NIV
The greek word for "thank you" is efharisto.In English, Eucharist. In offering thanks to our Creator, we acknowledge His existence, His presence among us and within us.
His love for us.
"The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23 (NASB)
They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23 (NASB)
May your day of giving thanks be filled with joy, family...
...and love.
