A Proper Perspective Of Thanksgiving

Exactly what does it mean to have a right perspective of Thanksgiving? Perhaps it means it is possible that we can lose our focus on Christ or maybe even suggest there's enough in this world that can throw us so far off course that we forget our mission, our blessings  in Christ and have placed values in the wrong things. So what is the proper perspective of Thanksgiving?  2 Cor 9: 11-12 says You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. 12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Well, it seems to suggest that Thanksgiving is more than just one day of the year, it should be a lifestyle. Even through trouble, sorrow, sickness and trials we face we can still be thankful through it, in Christ alone. And its because His grace and mercy we can have the proper view of thanksgiving.
