Thanksgiving: Echoing the Grace of God
Article by
David Mathis
Senior Teacher, Desiring God
Giving thanks is no small thing for the Christian.
But far too many of us have the wrong impression. Deep down we may see the summons to thanksgiving as pretty peripheral. Giving thanks — whoop dee doo — What really excites me is fill-in-the-blank.
It is tragic when gratitude seems obscure to the very people who have the most to be thankful for.…
It's amazing how a simple thank you can get those one leads to go to the ends of the earth for them. It's equally amazing how many supposed leaders don't know that fact.
