Several years ago while my family and I spent Thanksgiving with the victims of Hurricane Katrina we all learned the difference between being thankful “TO” and thankful “FOR.” And believe you me, there is a HUGE difference.
People who are Thankful “For” mention things like…
- I’m thankful for my iphone
- I’m thankful for my talent
- I’m thankful for my stuff
- I’m thankful life’s so comfortable
People who are Thankful “To” mention things like…
- I’m thankful to God for my salvation
- I’m thankful to Jesus for giving His life for me!
- I’m thankful to the volunteers and servant-hearted people of Impact Church who have sacrificed SOOOO much to get this movement going!
Are you thankful “To” or merely thankful “For?”
