We are taught, at a young age, to say thank you to those who give us stuff... we even have to write Thank you notes for Birthday presents, graduation presents, etc.... But in life, who are we thankful to? And what are we thankful for? If we are thankful for our family and friends, who gives us those friends? If we are thankful for health, who allows us breath each and every day? If we are thankful for our tangible stuff.... who, ultimately, provides all our stuff? If we are thankful we live in a free country, who gives us that freedom, and who could allow it to be striped from us at any time? God our Father is the giver and provider of all.... however, we shouldn't be thankful for just the "stuff" and people He allows us to manage here on Earth, because it is all ultimately His.... We should be thankful for who HE....
He is the Alpha and Omega - the beginning and end
He is our Great Comforter
He is provider
He is constant - never changing
He is our deliverer

In Scripture... God's character can be seen throughout... and He has given us a GREAT example of What WE should strive to be. We should Worship Him this week for Who HE IS.... not just be thankful for allowing us to live the lives we live, but worship Him for loving us so unconditionally, in spite of ourselves and our weaknesses.
