"What Kids Can Teach Us About Giving Thanks"

Once again the holiday season has rolled around and people are saying, “Where did the year go?” Already the stores are filled with Christmas decorations, children are wondering what they will find under the tree, and Mom and Dad are wondering how they will pay for it. These days Thanksgiving is basically a pre-season holiday, something you do to get in shape for Christmas. We eat, we sleep, we watch football, and we don’t stop until January.
That’s a shame because the art of giving thanks is one thing that separates man from the animals. To receive a gift and say, “Thank you,” is one of the noblest things a person can do. There is nothing small or trivial about it. To say “Thank you” is to acknowledge that we have been given something we did not earn and do not deserve. Happy is the person who understands that all of life is a gift of God and that life itself is the ultimate gift. That is why the Bible says, “In everything give thanks” (I Thessalonians 5:18). With that in mind, I will bring a special Thanksgiving series of messages from Psalm 131.
