We say "I give thanks for..." a lot today and on the days leading up to this holiday. We focus on the things in our lives that are blessings, that we are grateful for. And that is a wonderful focus. Yet, I wonder how often we say, "I give thanks to God for..."? What a difference those two little words make in my heart when I udder them. "to God". For all I have comes from Him, so all my thanks should be directed towards Him. Try it. Today, on Thanksgiving Day. Give thanks to the Lord.
