As Christians, we are to be “giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Eph. 5:20). Though this is to be a continual work in our lives, Thanksgiving is a particular opportunity for us to stop and devote ourselves to this work.
We have so much to be thankful for, from our families to our church to our community to our country. But above all, we have reason to be thankful that God has reconciled us to Himself in Jesus Christ and that in Christ we have the sure and steadfast hope of everlasting life with God. If any people have a reason to be thankful, we do.
We hope you are able to spend time with family and other loved ones this Thanksgiving and that you use it as an opportunity to reflect on God’s great gifts in your life. May such reflection renew your thankfulness and encourage you to live always for Christ. Happy Thanksgiving and may God continue to shower you with His grace!
