Only One Gave Thanks
from Ken Winter Hosted by Ken Winter
Allow me to hastily acknowledge that our thanksgiving to God should never be limited to one day on our calendar, it should be a daily acknowledgement of Him and to Him. But is it? Do we truly stop to give Him thanks? i wonder if i have stopped short of being thankful. I’m grateful for what i have – family, friends, health, strength, possessions and provision (no matter how much or little it might be), and so forth. But am i truly thankful to the One who has provided it all? Or, have i settled for being grateful instead of being thankful?

What this episode covers
This week in the U.S., we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It’s the one day set apart on our calendars to give thanks to God for the many blessings He has given to us. But as we busily prepare for a good meal, and/or time together with friends and/or family, are we truly stopping to give thanks? Have we become so distracted by all that is going on around us, and so consumed with what is taking place in our lives, that we now fail to turn to the One to whom all thanksgiving is due? Have we settled for being grateful instead of being thankful?
