Something Different For Thanksgiving

I was thinking the other day about Thanksgiving and I thought the obvious thought that Thanksgiving is a time to GIVE thanks. But that lead me to think about GIVING thanks in terms of giving something like a gift. I know, this still isn’t some mind blowing revelation, but it made me think that maybe I should start a new family tradition in my home in which we would give the gift of thanks to others.


What I am saying is that Thanksgiving gives us a great opportunity to give someone the gift of telling them “thank you” for the ways God has used them to bless your life.

I still think Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to be thankful and to count the blessing we have; we certainly should still offer our thanks up to God as our love offering to Him. But, this Thanksgiving in addition to expressing your thankfulness to God, give someone the gift of telling them “thank you” for what they mean to you in your life.

Please feel free to share your thoughts about Thanksgiving and/or the people and things you are thankful for in the comments.
