THE MONTH of November brings to mind a day filled with human good—food, drink and Pro Football. Thousands look forward to it as a day to be savored, emotionally as well as gastronomically. Few are interested any longer in its origin. For those, however, who still believe in the importance of giving thanks, and who are concerned, perhaps, that Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday has lost the essence of its origin, a study of the word “fulness” as it is used in the Bible may prove helpful.
For most of us, our cup is really full and running over; yet how often we resort to negativism. How often we speak in terms of limitation rather than in terms of fulness. The patriarchs of the Old Testament rarely permitted themselves to speak or think limitation. In Deuteronomy we read that Moses said to the Israelites, “and for the precious things of the Earth, and the fulness thereof,” and in First Chronicles, “Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; let the fields rejoice and all that is therein.” In Psalm 16 we find that inspiring verse, “Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy,” and the first verse of Psalm 24 literally lifts one’s spirits: “The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein.”
There is no room in “fulness” for limitation of any kind, physical, mental, economic. We experience what we think. That is the reason it is important often to “think what we are thinking.”
Might it not be wise for this month of November to think fulness of gratitude for all that is ours? Might we not do well to follow Paul’s advice to the Thessalonians, and “In everything give thanks.” n
