"For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when HE HAD GIVEN THANKS, HE BROKE IT and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' "
As we head to our Thanksgiving celebrations, many are brought to consider what we are thankful for: family, health, more than enough, friends, are common responses. But, when Jesus GAVE THANKS, He BROKE THE BREAD as a symbol of He Himself, the "bread of God", the "bread of life" (John 6:33-35), about to be BROKEN to make salvation to God available to all!
Be thankful for those good things that God has provided to you. Be thanks-GIVING to the Father by allowing Jesus Christ to show you what you must do, in remembrance of Him, so others may see Him!
