The sight made me laugh. The street was lined with houses sporting red bows, green garlands, and cheery lights—all except one. That one, as if in protest, boldly wore three huge wreaths with cornucopias.
What is it that makes Christmas so much easier to celebrate than Thanksgiving? Could it be because it’s much easier to give physical gifts to humans than to give heartfelt thanks to God?
Granted, part of the problem is that our society just leaves God out of the picture altogether, so a day set aside to give thanks is pointless. But we believers have to admit that being thankful is something we have to work at. That’s why it’s the sacrifice of praise that we bring to God.
If I really have the spirit of giving, and want to give God something this holiday season, whether November 26 or December 25 (or any time close to those dates), why not give Him the sacrifice of praise?
It's easier to build a girl than to repair a woman.
