Thanksgiving can be an empty holiday if we fail to understand our true condition as revealed by the Bible. At the THANKSGIVING TABLE we may have the custom of asking everyone to prepare a one sentence prayer or statement as to why we are thankful. As beautiful as this custom may be it sometimes is minimized to ?I?m thankful for?? instead of ?I thank God for?? The first statement is merely descriptive of some sentiment; the other clearly points to the one we are indebted to and acknowledges some sort of concrete debt (e.g. for health, home, family, forgiveness, finances, etc.). Make Thanksgiving more meaningful and be prepared to say ?I thank God for??
