Thanksgiving is a time of giving thanks (obviously).
But split the word in half, add a few other words in the middle, and you have a totally different understanding of the word that remains true to the holiday.
Instead of a day of thanks giving, it’s a day of thanks that leads to giving.
The holiday season reminds us to be thankful, which, in turn, spurs us towards greater benevolence and charity to others. This is an attitude we should deliberately manifest in our lives as much as possible.

CloseWe know that Jesus is powerful. After all, He raised the dead, gave sight to the blind, and "rebuked" nature. There's no doubt that He can do whatever He wants, any time He wants. But is it possible for Him to calm my soul? Our lives can be full of anxiety, fear, suspicion, danger, and sadness. We call on God to help us, but do we actually believe He can? Or, more specifically, how can we be know if He has? For that, we turn to the Psalms of Lament. These psalms make up nearly 1/3 of the book of Psalms, and they are very relatable when we find ourselves in tough times. They also teach us a lot about our own faith and how it practically intersects with the world around us.
