《感恩節靈修默想三》：「凡事謝恩，因為這是上帝在基督耶穌裡向你們所定的旨意。」（帖前5:18）。
默想一：「凡事謝恩」是指什麼？不論是挫折或順利，蒙福或遭難，平安或危險，健康或疾病，以至於各樣的試煉、逼迫、痛苦等等，都包含在『凡事』裏面。除了犯罪，你必須立刻認罪，懇求神的赦免和潔淨外，神的旨意是要我們在一切的經歷中，都要操練凡事感恩，凡事靠主喜樂。
默想二：基督徒憑什麼「凡事感恩」？因為我們的阿爸父神是愛，祂對我們的愛，甚至遠勝於父母對子女的愛。祂說：「婦人焉能忘記她吃奶的嬰孩，不憐恤她所生的兒子？即或有忘記的，我卻不忘記你。」（賽49:15）基督徒也會遇到人世間的苦難、災難和磨難，但基督徒相信「萬事都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處。」（羅8:28） 所發生的事不僅都有神的美意，也都有助於我們為主作更美好的見証，完成更有意義的工作。
禱告：天父上帝，感謝讚美袮。在感恩的季節裡，求袮幫助我如何數算袮的恩典，讓我在凡事上憑信心向袮獻上感恩—感謝袮賜我苦與樂，感謝袮絕望得慰；感謝袮賜路旁玫瑰，感謝袮玫瑰有刺；感謝袮賜喜樂憂愁，感謝袮賜明天盼望。無論順境或逆境，我要感謝袮不離不棄的愛。奉耶穌基督的名禱告，阿們！
《Today’s spiritual meditation》: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1Th 5:18)
Meditation one: What does “give thanks in all circumstances” mean? Whether it is defeat or success, blessing or suffering, peace or danger, health or illness, even with all kinds of trials, persecutions, agony, etc., are included in “all circumstances”. In addition to sin, you must immediately confess your sins and ask God for forgiveness and cleansing, God’s will is through all of our experiences, and we must practice gratitude in all circumstances and rejoice in the Lord.
Meditation two: Why should a Christian “give thanks in all circumstances “? Because our Abba Father God is love, His love for us is even greater than the love of parents for their children. He said: “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!” (Isa 49:15). Christians will also encounter worldly sufferings, disasters, and tribulations, but Christians believe that “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” (Rom 8:28). Not only anything happened to us has God’s good pleasure, it also helps us to witness a better testimony for the Lord and accomplish more meaningful work.
Prayer: God heavenly Father, I thank You and praise You. In the season of thanksgiving, please help me to count Your grace, so that I can offer You my gratitude by faith in everything – thank You for giving me pain and joy, thank You for the comfort during despair; thank You for giving roadside roses, thank You for the thorns of rose; thank You for giving me the joy and sorrow, thank You for the hope for tomorrow. Regardless smooth or awkward, I want to thank You for the love that will never leave me. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
