Thanksgiving dinner … like bread and wine
Morning: Psalm 106:1-18; 2Kings 21:1-18; I Corinthians 10:14-11:1
Jesus
broke, blessed and shared bread and a cup of wine as a way for us to remember
him. Churches call this ‘eucharist’, or
‘thanksgiving’. Such meals are acts of gratitude for all that we receive by
grace (gratis). Thanksgiving
dinner is a sort of ‘eucharist’, an act of thanksgiving … for our loved ones, our
life and our land. Like bread and wine,
all we have and all we are is for sharing, because it was never really ‘ours’
in the first place. Thankfulness leads naturally to giving, because grasping at
things is not our true nature. Happy
Thanks-giving!
