Giving Thanks

Today in Philippians we began with the question, "What is Philippians about?" Based on our discussion on Wednesday, the "correct" answer for today was not "joy", "Epaphroditus" or "Timothy" but to model a relationship that should be emulated. As we moved through the prayer section it became obvious that we too quickly skip over important information to get to the "hot topic" area. Paul begins with the word "Eucharistw", I give thanks. As Maundy Thursday fast approaches, it is important to remember that the Eucharist derives from giving thanks. Is it possible to worship at Easter by giving thanks for the provision God has made? Do we rush through the important information to get to the "sound bite"? Is Easter about the miracle of resurrection or is it about God working what we in our weakness could not?

Just a quick Easter moment.
