Thanksgiving is a culmination of all the labor of the preceding year — the tilling of the soil, the planting of the seed, the rain and sunshine nourishing the crop, and then the harvest!
The same principle of hard work followed by a reward holds true in the spiritual realm. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). “For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete” (Deuteronomy 16:15b).
