Being Thankful

COMMENTS

There are so many things to be thankful for—all the time.  To me, Thanksgiving is one of our country’s best holidays!  However, with all the focus on Christmas these days, Thanksgiving has almost become a “non-holiday”.  Let’s forget about Christmas shopping and decorations for a little while and just be thankful to our God—most of all for who He is, but also for all He’s done.  He is worthy of our praise!!!

NOTES

As I was being “thankful” this morning, God brought this song to my mind.  It’s a simple song, an old song—easily overlooked—but pay attention to the words.  This is my Thanksgiving offering to Him:

“Praise God from Whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”

--Thomas Ken, Awake, My Soul, and With the Sun, 1674

Lord, I praise you!
