The word “grateful” has lost it’s “umph” on me.
It is everywhere – on porch decor, memes, charity slogans…and when I see it I kinda groan. Just a little.
But then my pastor mentioned something that helped me see the word “grateful” in a whole new light.
(Language geeks, unite! You’ll love this.)
The word “grateful” comes from the greek word “efcharisto.”
The root of “efcharisto” is “charis.”
“Charis” means “grace.”
“Grace” is a word that will never lose its power over my heart. I can do grace all day long. I can give it and receive it – both with joy and love.
Happy pre-Thanksgiving Monday, my friends.
