Thanksgiving’s resounding theme is abundance

“Thanksgiving’s resounding theme is abundance, regardless of whether the stores are short of turkeys this year. Thankfulness is more than appreciation for gifts received. True gratitude is always expressed in action. Abundance defies circumstances.”

@mollclarissa from “How to Move from Grumbling to Gratitude” on @thegospelcoalition

I’m really hung up on “abundance defies circumstances” part. There are so many stories of people that are in the worst of circumstances that continue to praise God and thank Him for his abundance. They could curse God and be done with it and yet…they praise.

I hear we Christians are weird. If this is “Christian weird” I don’t want to be normal.

Such a great article from Clarissa over on The Gospel Coalition. I’ll include the link in the comments! 🙌
