A Round of Thanks

Verse of the Month

And Your faithfulness every night.” (Psalm 92:1-2 NKJV)

Scripture Reading:  Colossians 3:17; Philippians 1:3

A Round of Thanks

I’m not sure about other countries, but in America people make elaborate plans for their Thanksgiving dinner, including guests and the selection of foods that will be provided for the feast of thanks.  Another important part that we spend a lot of time on is the tablescape.  It has to be perfect not overlooking one thing!

This year I’d like to suggest adding something special to your table setting that people will remember.  As a representative of Christ Jesus, prepare for each guest (including your own family) by demonstrating your appreciation and thankfulness for their being a part of your life in a personal way.

^" And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” (Colossians 3:17 NLT)

Ahead of time have the family make a card or tag for each person coming to the event that will be placed on the table in front of where they will be seated.  Try to be creative in the design(s); they don’t have to match but can be quite as individual as those dining that day.

Along with their name, write something that you are thankful for in the relationship and how they have been a blessing in your life.  Add a verse of encouragement that suits each person as a reminder of thanks.

“Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.” (Philippians 1:3 NLT)

Finally, you can either do this before or during the meal.  Provide an opportunity allowing those who wish to give a round of thanks to do so.

During our studies this month we have learned that it is "good to give thanks"

showing our appreciation to God and others on a daily basis.  In doing so we please our Heavenly Father in being obedient to His Word, and those are the people He wants to bless. (cw)
