God's ThanksGiving Recipe

We can give thanks to God by being like the giver, not just on Thanksgiving Day, but each day that we live.

So now I offer to you this recipe for thanksgiving.

  1. Combine in your lives large portions of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.
  2. Stir in generous quantities of tolerance and forgiveness.
  3. Saturate the mixture with ample amounts of love.
  4. Blend all the ingre­dients together and cook to perfection.
  5. Spread thickly the peace of Christ within your hearts.
  6. Sprinkle heavily with thankfulness.
  7. Add abundant portions of his Word.
  8. Just before serving, stir in some teaching seasoned with wisdom and some singing flavored with gratitude.


Repeat this process daily. And what­ever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.–Colossians 3:12-15
