On this Thanksgiving Day, let’s look for a moment at the words thankful & grateful. Both are adjectives, and both basically mean the same thing. But thankful is being conscious of the benefit received such as in the Scripture above. Another Translation says, “I will give to the Lord the thanks due…” In other words, a vow of thankfulness back to God for all the good things we realize we wouldn’t have without Him. While grateful is more of an action word…of giving or expressing appreciation for the benefits received. Today be both thankful & grateful to God, your family and friends, and all those around you.
