Tables and Trees

During a Thanksgiving sermon this morning from Matthew 26:26-28, I realized:

Adam and Eve stood by a tree, took fruit and ate it.
Jesus at the table, hours from the tree of Calvary, took bread, gave thanks, and gave it to the disciples to eat.

They both took and ate, but Jesus gave thanks.  This is because He was giving of Himself, not taking for Himself.

Around your tables and trees this season, put more energy and thought to giving thanks and giving of yourself, than taking or getting for yourself.
