Hello, guys. What day is it in your location? I am writing from Nigeria. Today is Sunday here. Sunday blessings to those who share same day with me. To others whose days are different, I wish you the best of the day.
Today I want to talk about Thanksgiving
First, the word, Thanksgiving is a compound word.
Note: Compound word is a word that contains two worlds that can stand or exist on their own. So, "Thanksgiving" is derived from "Thanks" and "giving".
(This is me in Church today lifting up my hands of Thanksgiving unto God)
MEANING OF "THANKS"
Thanks is a feeling of appreciation.
"Thanks means kindly or grateful thoughts : GRATITUDE or an expression of gratitude. Source
MEANING OF GIVING
Giving is derived from the word, give. It is the present participle form of give.
GIVE means to make a present of OR
to grant or bestow by formal action. Source.
From the above definitions, one thing is sure about Thanksgiving; it is an action that follows what a person has received. Aside the literal meanings, Thanksgiving can also come into place when one is commiting someone into doing what he/she desires from the individual. Again, Thanksgiving is a positive reaction or expression. What does that mean? It is a good thing that worth doing by those who wants to live a positive life.
BENEFITS OF THANKSGIVING
- Thanksgiving gives us an upper hand of receiving what we desire in the future from the giver.
- It commits the doer of what we have received into doing more. Hence, Thanksgiving is an application for more.
- It motivates the the receiver to give us things we lack that we may not have asked for.
When we practise Thanksgiving as a people, we won't have anything to lose but we will have everything to gain. Source
Therefore, let Thanksgiving be part of your everyday's activities.
