Not the way I see it. Everyday should be a reason for giving thanks. It's kinda too bad that people make a big deal about Thanksgiving Day, and then try to stumble through the rest of the year.
If you have ever suffered any disaster in your life – fire, auto accident, major surgery, etc. then you know what it feels like to "be better." Too many people forget how bad it was, and only want to moan about how bad it is now. I won't talk about the "guy with no legs", but forget about the people around you who are having problems. Look instead to where you have been, and be thankful that you are not in that particular pit right now.
The Apostle Paul, over and over again reminded the early church and us that we need to be
- Thankful wherever we are
- Give thanks to God for everything
- When you ask God for anything, do it with thanks!
So, when do we stop saying "Thanks?"
