Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 333 of 366 Thanksgiving With Meaning It is the custom of many Christians to bow their heads in public places and give thanks for the food that has been placed before them. I have had scores of waiters and waitresses tell me that when we bowed our heads, it was the first time they had ever seen that happen in their restaurant. Millions never pause to give a word of thanks to God for the food provided. Few homes have a moment of thanksgiving at the beginning of the meal or at any other time of the day. Even at Thanksgiving time only a minority will pause and give thanks to God. Thanksgiving is recognition of a debt that cannot be paid. We express thanks, whether or not we are able otherwise to reimburse the giver. When thanksgiving is filled with true meaning and is not just the formality of a polite "thank you," it is the recognition of dependence. Daily Prayer Almighty God, You have given me real life through Jesus Christ. My soul praises You. John 10:10 NASB 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
