A few years ago, a friend of ours brought her young boys to our house, all dressed up for Halloween. After we gave them some candy, their mother asked them, “What are you supposed to say?” The 3-year-old responded with a loud “Boo!”

Of course she was trying to get him to say, “Thank you.”

Even when we are older, we sometimes struggle to express our gratitude when someone gives us something. We may even forget to thank God, who gives us every good thing that we have.

1 Thess.5:16-18—“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Happy Thanksgiving!
