HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-10-14, Page 29Be thankful to; not for Minister's study BY THE REVEREND ROBERT O. BALL, NORTH STREET UNITED CHURCH Another THANKSGIVING weekend is over. For many, no doubt, it's been a time for family reunions and tradi- tional celebrations of festive eating. Churches throughout the country have sung their harvest hymns, and reflected upon sermons of gratitude. No doubt one familiar story in the New Testament, (Luke 17:11-17) has been worked over again. It's hard to pass it by, because it still speaks to us. It's too simple, however, to see the story of the cleansing of the lepers as a story of one who was thankful and nine who were riot. Life is not usually lived in "blacks and whites". The problem is more subtle. Surely they were all thankful. Surely you would be too, if you were suddenly freed from some disease or disability that had prevented you from doing,, what you want, going where you want, or being accepted into family and social circles. Surely they were all thankful. The difference seems more like this. Nine were thankful FOR. One was thankful TO. Nine were run- ning, jumping, singing and dancing ... sincerely thankful FOR their good for- tune. But one was thankful TO someone. One felt in- debted, and could not dance and sing until one had thrown oneself down into a gesture of gratitude and obe- dience. Traditional thanksgivings are a thanksgiving FOR. On- ly we can make them, a thanksgiving TO. To 'return thanks' before meals is, an old' phrase. It's a good phrase. It catches the true meaning of thanksgiving TO God for His goodness and Grace, His Promise and His Presence. Many will always be thankful FOR ... and be con- tent. Others will catch the meaning of being thankful TO .,. and enjoy a deeper dimension to their lives, reflected in their sense of commitment to God, to wor- ship, and to responsibility to each other. Someone has written: "When someone sends you something, you look at the gift card to see who sent it. This is only natural. But there is a gift card that goes with everything we have, if we only look to see and that card reads like this: WITH INFINITE LOVE, YOURS FAITHFULLY, GOD.." Be thankftit TO and join to Worship Him.
