Theme: Being Thankful
Not what we say about our blessings but how we use them
is the true measure of our thanksgiving. — W. T. PurkiserGive Thanks to Our Father — Wayne Crocker
We seek to worship the one true and living God in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We are taught to pray to the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ through the Spirit Who makes intercession for us. There is no way we can give too much honor and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. However, in our devotion to Christ, we must never forget that He is subject to the Father.
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all (I Cor. 15:24, 28).
Paul writes that we are to give:
...thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Col. 1:12-13).
Notice the Father has made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance. How?
- By being placed in Christ by election,
- by being redeemed by the blood of Jesus and
- by being born again by the Spirit.
Our position in Christ is made a reality to us in the work of translation. In the new birth, the Father translates us out of the kingdom of darkness. Remember, we:
...were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved:) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:3-6).
When a child of God is brought out of the kingdom of darkness (the devil's kingdom), he is immediately placed into the kingdom of God's dear Son. Surely, it is appropriate that we give thanks this day and every day to our heavenly Father for His wonderful grace.

In Everything Give Thanks — Gertrude W. Seibert
We thank Thee, Lord, for raiment, and we thank Thee for our food,
We thank Thee for our shelter, O, Thou Giver of All Good.
We thank Thee for the day on which our eyes first saw the light,
We give Thee thanks for every sense, for hearing and for sight.
We thank Thee for the sunshine, and we thank Thee for the rain,
We thank Thee for the pleasure and we thank Thee for the pain.
We thank Thee for the friends we've won, and for the friends we've lost.
We thank Thee for the heart-aches which these separations cost.
We thank Thee for the tender love which makes us clearly see
That every severed heart-string hath but drawn us nearer Thee.
We thank Thee for forgiveness when we fail in word or deed,
We praise Thee for sufficient grace in every time of need.
We thank Thee, blessed Father, for the gift of Thy dear Son,
We thank Thee and we praise Thee for the victory He won.
We thank Thee for His righteousness, His robe so pure and white,
We praise Thee that, when clothed in it, we're blameless in Thy sight.
We thank Thee, oh, we praise Thee for Thy good and precious Word,
We bless Thee for the wondrous faith its promises have stirred.
We thank Thee for the glorious Hope of Immortality—
Our hearts are longing, Lord, with Thee to dwell eternally!
We thank Thee for "That Servant," for the love of each dear Saint,
We bless Thee for their fellowship when heart and strength grow faint.
And thus we give Thee thanks, dear Lord, for each and every thing,
And pray that Thou wilt keep us safe beneath Thy sheltering wing!
Being Thankful — Leonard Davis
What does the expression “being thankful” really mean to you, as a person who has been blessed in so many ways? Does it just represent an expression made for the moment, associated with a physical or emotional condition? Does being blessed represent a state of reality, that lasts after the thought is verbally expressed or does it soon pass once spoken? Being blessed should be something recognized as distinguishable from outside the realm of the norm, or at least enough so to be particularly noticed by you. Is being blessed conditional—based upon some external stimuli, causing you to react or to be moved by its results or influence? I’m sure it could be one of the above, a combination of several or even all of the above.
Let’s look at the meanings of the words individually and then the two words as a phrase. Then we shall look at the words regarding the relationship between man and God and how that relationship should be structured.
The word “being” reflects something existing in this time world and brings to mind something that is alive and has a distinctive quality, setting it apart from everything else. Also, “being” is associated with the essence of something and its genuine make up. “Being” connotes a moving force or an animation of behavior as a result of its essence. Finally, in the context of the phrase, “being thankful,” an active description of thankfulness is characterized.
Now the word “thankful” is somewhat easier to define. “Thankful” is a state of:
· appreciativeness for favors and kindnesses received
· gratitude for anything said or done
· fulfillment for a promise brought to completion.
We may say many times over in response to something, “I am thankful” for a particular item; or “I am thankful” that I acted a certain way or that I didn’t act that way; or “I am thankful” because something special happened.
Most of the time thankfulness is not a result of a conscious response or thought, but a reflex to an action or deed that has taken place or maybe not taken place. A motive from within our person causes our “being thankful” and signifies a need to respond. Thus, we should be determined that this occasion should not pass by without our responding which also should become a way of life with us. God expects His people to respond to His many blessings so freely showered upon us and His mercies so graciously extended unto us.
So, with reference to the above explanations, “being thankful” toward God is defined as a real, living existence with a distinctive quality recognizable apart from every other thing pertinent to life, which reflects the essence of its genuine character.
Now let’s try to qualify that definition with scriptures. When we express “being thankful” to something that God bestowed upon us, it should be more inclusive than just a statement. It should reflect a life that is conscious of the always-giving God, a life undiminished from the pinnacle of its love for God. Just as David testified, when we enter into His gates and into His courts with praise, we should “be thankful unto him, and bless his name” (Psa. 100:4). We should, “Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people….O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever (1 Chron. 16:8,34). Let’s not dally about or forget. “For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?” (Psa. 6:5). David is saying that for us to be thankful requires life and a state of life that reflects the very nature of thankfulness. We cannot be one who says we are thankful and mean anything but that. David also said, “Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name” (Psa 18:49).
“Being thankful” is to have remembrance of His holiness, His righteousness, and to give honor unto His name, showing forth in praise, for it is a good thing to rejoice in the Lord. This is a living experience—dwelling upon His goodness, His covenants, not only on the Sabbath, but also each and everyday that we are given to see His mercy and kindness bestowed upon His people. When we kneel to pray, our mouths should spring forth with thanksgiving for the promised hope of tomorrow, and our countenance should express our total dependence upon Him.
“Being thankful” is remembering Him as the One without sin, Who was made sin for us, that we may have life more abundantly. Even the Lord gave thanks for those things which was given Him by His Father. We are to live our lives being thankful for those things that honor the Lord; for His sacrifice upon the cross giving us victory over death through Him. For us to be thankful manifests the Savior in whatever we do in word, in deed and in life be it physical or spiritual, but above all, acknowledging the precious gift of His love. The love of God is a mercy granted and the grace needed to sustain us here in this low land of sin and sorrow. The essence of our life here should be one that reflects our “being thankful” in all our prayers and supplications and our intercessions to the Lord for others. Let’s expound upon the mercy, grace, tender-loving kindness extended unto us from the Lord, our God. Amen and Amen
We Thank Thee, Lord — June Hawks Goins
We thank Thee, Lord, for sending down Thy blessings from above—
For marking out and calling forth the objects of Thy love.
Thy mercies are all undeserved by creatures of the dust,
But through the merits of Thy Son they come to us, we trust.
We have this treasure from on high in vessels of the earth—
Thy Spirit comes into the heart and makes us heirs by birth.
There is no limit to Thy power in height, or depth, or length—
And in the weakness of our flesh, Lord, Thou becometh strength!
Oh, cause our spirits to desire. The wisdom Thou doth give—
Lord, crucify us to the flesh And let the new man live!
Oh, may we ever praise Thy Name and know we’re truly blest—
If Christ the Hope of Glory be implanted in our breast!

A Poem of Thanksgiving
My Friends, it is such a blessing to know that God loves us so much and is so forgiving of our weaknesses. Even when we are so unfaithful and unloving to Him, He still loves us! I am so very grateful for this love as undeserving as I am, I'm yet so very grateful.
Below is a beautiful poem written by our dear brother and friend, Stephen, a poem of thanksgiving, surrender, and repentance to our precious Lord. Thank you so very much dear Stephen for this poem. I pray today, before we all begin to seek the Lord for anything in our lives, that we would take a moment and tell Him sincerely, just how much we love Him and instead of desiring something from Him, ask Him...what could we do for Him!
Thank You, Lord — Stephen, 2002
Weak as I am, you still love me, even times I hurt, neglect you,
There is no Other, like Thee, caring, gently, forgiving me.
Lord, I don't deserve such love, Lord, such sorrow I do feel,
Lord, I look to You above, and I know you're real, so real.
You touch me once again, You renew me once again,
You lift me up when I fall I listen closely, softly You call,
“Dear one, do not despair, I know you're sorry, I know you care.”
And Your Spirit!! Glorious Spirit surrounds me so,
Giving me the will, the guiding touch, the way to go,
And Your love, precious, perfect gift, Sets me back on track; You lift.
Lord, forgiveness I beg of You, in words or ways I fail to do.
The way you want, need me to go forth! live in love, as You do.
Merciful Savior, trusted Friend, No one can ever compare to You,
Forgiving Brother the love You send, Nothing can touch You, Lord ,You!
Thank You for forgiving, Thank You for loving, Thank You for saving,
Thank You for dying, Thank You for living, Thank You for caring,
Thank You for directing, Thank You for inspiring,
For everything You say, You do, My hope is totally dependent on You.
So, my Lord, my guiding Light, Calmness sets in, You make things right.
On to another hour, another day, Keep me close to You, Your way
And praise You, so praise You, Lord.
I give to You with every breath, My love, my life, my precious Lord,
Forgiving, gentle, blessed Lord, I know no fear, nor death,
For I live in You, You live in me, Close in love, eternally....AMEN
To God be all the glory in Jesus name.......Amen.

by the President of the United States of America
WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favour; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a DAY OF PUBLICK THANKSGIVING and PRAYER, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”
NOW THEREFORE, I do recommend and assign THURSDAY, the TWENTY-SIXTH DAY of NOVEMBER next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed;
— for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish Constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted;
— for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general,

Thy Bounties, Gracious Lord — Elizabeth Scott, 1708-1776
Thy bounties, gracious Lord, with gratitude we own;
We bless Thy providential grace, which show’rs its blessings down.
With joy the people bring their off’rings round Thy throne;
With thankful souls, behold, we pay a tribute of Thine own.
O may this sacrifice to Thee, the Lord, ascend,
An odor of sweet perfume, Presented by His hand.
Well pleased our God will view the products of His grace;
With endless life will He fulfill His kindest promises.
Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation
by the President of the United States of America.
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battlefield; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October,
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three and

Let All Things Now Living — Katherine K. Davis, b1892
Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving
To God the creator triumphantly raise.
Who fashioned and made us, protected and stayed us,
Who still guides us on to the end of our days.
God's banners are o'er us, His light goes before us,
A pillar of fire shining forth in the night.
Till shadows have vanished and darkness is banished
As forward we travel from light into light.
His law He enforces, the stars in their courses
And sun in its orbit obediently shine.
The hills and the mountains, the rivers and fountains,
The deeps of the ocean proclaim Him divine.
We too should be voicing our love and rejoicing;
With glad adoration a Song let us raise.
Till all things now living unite in thanksgiving:
"To God in the highest, Hosanna and praise!"
“Enter into His Gates with Thanksgiving” — C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)
(Psalm 100:4)
To the occurrence of the word thanksgiving in this place the Psalm probably owes its title. In all our public service the rendering of thanks must abound; it is like the incense of the temple, which filled the whole house with smoke. Expiatory sacrifices are ended, but those of gratitude will never be out of date. So long as we are receivers of mercy we must be givers of thanks. Mercy permits us to enter his gates; let us praise that mercy. What better subject for our thoughts in God's own house than the Lord of the house. “And into his courts with praise.” Into whatever court of the Lord you may enter, let your admission be the subject of praise: thanks be to God, the innermost court is now open to believers, and we enter into that which is within the veil; it is incumbent upon us that we acknowledge the high privilege by our songs. Be thankful unto Him. Let the praise be in your heart as well as on your tongue, and let it all be for Him to whom it all belongs. And bless His name. He blessed you, bless Him in return; bless His name, His character, His person. Whatever He does, be sure that you bless Him for it; bless Him when He takes away as well as when He gives; bless Him as long as you live, under all circumstances; bless Him in all His attributes, from whatever point of view you consider Him.
From The Treasury of David
Thanksgiving — Anonymous
We thank Thee, Father, for the care that did not come to try us;
The burden that we did not bear, the trouble that passed by us;
The task we did not fail to do; the hurt we did not cherish;
The friend who did not prove untrue; the joy that did not perish.
We thank Thee for the blinding storm that did not lose its swelling;
And for the sudden blight of harm that came not nigh our dwelling.
We thank Thee for the dart unsped, the bitter word unspoken,
The grave unmade, the tear unshed, the heart-tie still unbroken.
The Disposition of God’s People — Richard Sibbes (1577-1635)
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3).
We see here the heart of the blessed apostle, being warmed with the sense and taste of the sweet mercy of God, stirs up his tongue to bless God; a full heart and a full tongue. We have here the [over-flowing fullness], the abundance of his thankfulness breaking forth in his speech. His heart had first tasted of the sweet mercies and comforts of God before he praiseth God. The first thing that we will observe hence is, that
It is the disposition of God’s children, after they have tasted the sweet mercy and comfort and love of God, to break forth into the praising of God and to thanksgiving. It is as natural for the new creature to do so as for the birds to sing in the spring. When the sun hath warmed the poor creature, it shows its thankfulness in singing…it is natural for those creatures so to do, and we delight in them.
It is as natural for the new creature, when it feels the Sun of Righteousness warming the soul, when it tastes of the mercy of God in Christ, to show forth itself in thankfulness and praise; and it can no more be kept from it than fire can keep from burning or water from cooling. It is the nature of the new creature so to do.
The reason is: every creature must do the work for which God hath enabled it, to which God hath framed it. The happiness of the creature is in well-doing, in working according to its nature. The heathen could see that. Now all the creatures, the new creature especially, are for the glory of God in Christ Jesus. All the new creature, and what privileges it hath, and what graces it hath, all is, that God may have the glory of grace. Why then, it must needs work answerable to that which God hath created it for. Therefore it must show forth the praise and glory of God.
“Blessed be the God,” saith the apostle (Eph 1:3); and the blessed apostle Peter begins his epistle, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, ” (1 Pt. 1:3,4).

Thankfulness — Ethel A. Vass
Thank God for the radiant sunshine for the rain and hail and snow,
All of which fall in due season thank Him for this and more.
Thank God for our springtime when the trees start turning green,
And birds are chirping wildly thank Him for this wondrous scene!
Thank God for the beautiful summer for the blessed showers of rain,
And flowers that are everywhere blooming for these, thank Him again!
Thank God for the golden autumn as we reap the harvest of grain,
Knowing it was Him that made it for without Him, man is vain.
Again thank God when winter comes with its burdens of weather,
And let’s not forget most of all to thank Him for America!
Sincere Thanks — Ethel A. Vass
Did you give thanks or did you just say
“I am thankful” in a formal sort of way?
Did you use your strong hands to help one in need?
Or did you just use them for your own greed?
Did you share some of your bountiful portion
And help another who was less fortunate?
Did you speak a kind word to a poor dejected one,
Or did you pass by, ignoring their hurting?
If you have been abundantly blessed on life’s road,
It is a small thing to help those less fortunate and lighten their load.
Then you can be sincere when you say,
“I am really thankful today.”
