Why we Celebrate Thanksgiving or
Finding Gratitude in every Season
By Bob Waybright
We can’t help but notice the days are growing shorter and we sense the year is winding down. Taking time out to celebrate Thanksgiving gives us a natural pause – a moment to breath, reflect, and remember what matters. Sure, it comes with turkey triumphs and kitchen chaos, but beneath all the noise sits a deeper rhythm: gratitude. Not the quick social-media kind, but the kind that grows from faith, roots deep, and holds steady even when life doesn’t feel particularly “thankful.”
Gratitude as a Spritual Practice
In Scripture, gratitude isn’t just a nice sentiment; it’s a posture of the heart. Paul writes, “Give thanks in all circumstances” (1Thess. 5:18). And let’s be real “all circumstances” is a difficult assignment. It’s easy to give thanks when the table is full and the house smells like cinnamon and pies. It’s harder when you’re staring down a difficult year, and empty chair at the table, or prayers that still feel unanswered.
But biblical gratitude isn’t about pretending everything is perfect. It’s about recognizing that God is present – steadfast, faithful, and working – even when life is messy. Gratitude becomes an act of trust, even defiance: “No matter what I see, I know God is here with me.”
Why Thanksgiving Hits Differently with Faith
Thanksgiving, as a holiday, sits at the crossroads of reflection and celebration. But for people of faith, it’s not just about counting blessings – it’s about remembering the Blessor.
When we pause to give thanks:
+ We remind our hearts who provides.
+ We reconnect to God’s goodness, not just His gifts.
+ We slow down long enough to notice grace in places we previously rushed past.
Faith reframes the table before us. Food becomes a symbol of provision. Family (even the messy kind) becomes a picture of grace. And laughter, rest and warmth become reminders that God delights in giving good things to His children.
Finding Thanksgiving in Hard Seasons
Not every season is gentle. Some years stretch us thin – financially, emotionally, spiritually. Yet even then, gratitude doesn’t vanish; it simply looks different. Sometimes thanksgiving is a quiet whisper: “Lord, thank You for being with me.” Sometimes it’s a tearful prayer: “Thank God in advance for the hope He promises but we haven’t yet seen.
Faith does’t make pain disappear, but it does open our eyes to bits of beuty hidden among the broken pieces.
Practicing Faith-Filled Gratitude
Here are a few simple ways to make thanksgiving not just a holiday, but a spiritual rhythm:
+ Name one place where you saw God’s presence today. Even if it was small
+ Say a short prayer of thanks before each meal this week. Slow down, Breathe.
+ Write down three blessings – one expected, one unexpected, one unnoticed.
+ Tell someone you are grateful for them. Love grows when spoken aloud.
+ Read Psalm 100 or Phillippians 4:4-7 and let the words settle your spirit.
A closing thought
Thanksgiving isn’t just a moment on the calendar; it’s a posture of the heart. And when faith fuels that gratitude, it becomes something far deeper than a holiday – it becomes a way of seeing the world. A way of trusting God’s goodness even when circumstances wobble. A way of remembering that every breath, every sunrise, every small kindness is a gift.
This year, let your gratitude be anchored not in perfection, but in the God who holds all things, including you, together.
