Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional BY REV. ANDY HOLSTON Pastor The Community Church Of Jackson Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. II Cor. 9:15 While leafing through a very old Commentary, 1 discovered this poem appropriate for any season but especially Thanksgiving. The stall fed ox, that is grown fat, will know His careless feeder, and ac knowledge too; The generous puppy loves his master’s eye, And licks his fingers though no meat be by; But man, ungrateful man, that’s born and bred By Heaven’s immediate power; maintained and fed By God’s providing hand; ob served, attended, By God’s indulgent grace; pre served, defended, By God’s prevailing arm: this man I say, Is more ungrateful, more ob dure than they. Man, Oh most ungrateful man; can ever enjoy The gift, but never mind the Giver; And like swine, though pam pered with the broth, Have eyes that raise no higher than the trough. Author Unknown Though some say they are grateful to God, they treat His blessings as though they them selves engineered them. Such are immune to the inner joy of whol ly depending on God for life here and for eternity. The great penal ty for ingratitude is that of get ting used to it, until one is alone. If truly redeemed, we can never cease to thank God for the un speakable gift of his Son, with out whom there is no access to God or his Kingdom. A little girl eargerly eyed the candy jar in a grocery store. The kind and sympathetic store keep er removed the lid, and lowering the jar within her reach said: “Take some; take a whole hand full." With real wisdom she re plied: “I’d rather you give me a handful. Your hand is a lot big ger than mine.” God’s hand is much larger than ours. Remember this and have a happy Thanks giving.

And what fun it is to tell our friends of the lucky pur chase—even if, in the final accounting, the results are somewhat dubious! But think of the many bargains about which we have no doubt really big, genuine bargains . . . like the beautiful color of leaves on an autumn day or the aroma of roast turkey that's in the kitchen stove at this very minute. And, since it's Thanksgiving, it is only appropriate that we should mention the tremendous bargain of our heritage and freedom. When you come to think of it, we are always getting more than we are giving. We are on the receiving end. The biggest part of our life the overwhelming part of our life is what is given to us. Let us then become conscious of our moment by-moment dependence on God, the awareness of life as a gift. For what is religion but receiving, seeing, believing, praising and thanking God?
