It is the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and, therefore, it is only appropriate to talk about giving thanks. To possess a posture of thankfulness on a daily basis is many things. To be thankful is to be (gratefully) looking at what one already has rather than what one longs for or desires. To be thankful is to be thinking about others first rather than thinking about oneself. To be thankful in the context of your relationship to God means adopting a posture of praise and adoration for the goodness of God and the many and varied gifts he so often gives. Today, let us give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love endures forever.
