The word “thanksgiving” (note the lack of capitalization, meaning that this is not limited to the holiday of that name) denotes an expression of something very particular that is in the heart. Pause a moment to think about that.
We throw around expressions all the time with little thought about whether we really mean what we say. Take for instance the phrase, “Great to see you”. Maybe you say something like that just to be polite and it’s not that you are being dishonest because in reality you don’t like seeing the other person, yet actually seeing them is closer to neutral than great.
