STUDY 14: THANKSGIVING, A
FORM OF PRAISE 1
Main Text: Psalm 103:1-5
Memory Verse: Hebrews
13:15
Introduction
Thanksgiving refers to an expression of
gratitude to another person something done. In America for example,
Thanksgiving Day was instituted originally to thank God for agricultural
harvest and economic prosperity. We also our friends for giving us birthday
presents, and showing love, care and concern. On Mothers’ and Fathers’ Days,
children thank their parents for the benefits of good parenting. Certainly, what
God has done for us surpasses all that these relations do for us. Recounting
and appreciating what God has done for the Christian help
us to thank Him better.
