The season of thanksgiving is coming. Christmas makes our hearts excited, but thanksgiving makes our hearts grow deeper. We are celebrating today as Thanksgiving Sunday. I hope all of us can give the best of the best thanksgiving different from any other year on this Sunday to Our Lord.
What it means "to thank" is to recognize that all that we now have is really God's. Being rich in contents of our thanksgiving shows our true values. The contents of our repressions of thanksgiving shows how mature we are. In some ways, the fact that we feel grateful to the Lord simply lets us know that we are already growing into maturity.
The characteristic of immature people grumbles and resents for circumstances. On the contrary, mature people are thankful and feel grateful. When we meet those mature people who are filled with thankfulness, we are amazed that their situations are not any better than ours. Whatever their circumstances, their lives are filled with gratitude and thankfulness. A well known Korean poetess, Myung-Hee Song, has been suffering from cerebral infantile paralysis for her whole life. Her life circumstances, however, are still harder and more difficult than any of ours. But the reason she can live a thankful life is because of her deep understanding about God's grace. It is God who gave her a thankful heart so she can thank the lord in all she does.
The reason thanksgiving is important for us is because our hearts become abundant. When we give thanks to the Lord, thanksgiving warms the heart. Thankful hearts enable us to see the things that we still have left rather than what we have lost. The people who can give thanks to God can see things that other can not see. We can see the bigness of a tiny mustard seed. Our hearts can value the invisible and untouchable things more. Do you know Jesus Christ prayed the prayer of thanksgiving first before He performed miracles? The reason He did so is because " thanking" is an essential element that creates miracles. Be thankful and grateful then you may experience the wonderful work that other can not see of God in your life.
As you celebrate this Thanksgiving Sunday, count the blessing you have received from God. Give thanks to God with all your heart. Express the thankfulness and gratitude with your lips. I pray that the blessings of our good God will overflow upon your family in this season of thanksgiving.
