Thanks be to God!

You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God (2 Corinthians 9:11).

Thanksgiving is a time when we reflect on our blessings. After naming a dozen or more blessings, I stop and remember the one thing that is above all the others. I am a baptized child of God and because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, I am saved.

Of course, we are thankful for our families, our church family, our LWML sisters and brothers, and a country where we can worship without fear. God has truly blessed us. And what do you do when you have something wonderful? Don’t you want to tell someone about it?

The LWML has many resources for sharing the saving love of Jesus — for giving thanks. “Reaping a Bountiful Harvest” is just one of many resources for fall. You can find it and many more here.

Thank you, Jesus, for everything.
