A Reflection on Being Thankful
In the Christian Faith, the idea of thankfulness is so central that the pinnacle of Orthodox worship, the reception of Holy Communion, is commonly referred to as the "Eucharist”, which is to say, “Thanksgiving." What this signifies for those who have deep and abiding faith in Jesus Christ is that we are called to be thankful regardless of the circumstances of our lives because we understand the loving way in which God is dealing with us, slowly bringing us to an awareness of our sins and preparing us to stand before Him at the end of our life when we will necessarily give account for how we have lived.
