For the last week or so my daily devotional has been doing a series on giving thanks. Every day has a different theme: giving thanks in waiting, in sorrow, in security, in wandering, etc. The two that stuck out the most to me were giving thanks in plenty and giving thanks in want. In my life right now I relate to giving thanks in plenty. So I especially appreciate the message of this devotion, to always remember that no matter how plentiful our lives feel, we should never forget that we are in a constant state of need of God's grace, and to rejoice that that need is constantly fulfilled. If you are celebrating from a place of want today, I hope you can find comfort in the message of 1 Thessalonians 5:18 which doesn't ask us to give thanks for all circumstances but in all circumstances.
Thanksgiving blessings for one and all, from my blessed family to yours:)
