Every Thanksgiving Offering that you and I may give, because we are True Believers, is for Worship first. It means that whatever we may do with this Thanksgiving Offering we are doing with a worshipful heart and motive. It is the Lord, working through us, for His Glory. We Worship in Spirit and Truth, so we can be led by the Holy Spirit in our Offerings.
