Thanksgiving

2 Corinthian 4:15-16
15All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day

It's pretty simple that grace causes overflowing thanksgiving. Regardless of our circumstances, grace is what causes genuine thanks to come out in our lives.
Today I want to be thankful for grace.
It's easier to be thankful for a nice house, cars, family, friends, that new HD tv you can get on black friday, a job, health...all good things, but according to vs 16 all things that are wasting away.
I don't want to have wasted thanks.
I want to be thankful for things that are being renewed. Grace, peace, hope, joy, love-- things that are being made new because of Christ.

i hope today we can all find time to give thanks for things that are being made new.
