Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
~ Psalm 100 (ESV)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
(((HUGS)))
Happy Thanksgiving one and all. They are trying to rewrite the first Thanksgiving again but being thankful is an internal thing with memories and close people to remember and be thankful for, Give thanks for a good meal also.
OMG!! I shouldn’t laugh, but those people are SO STUPID!!!
LOL!!
Today we gather around the dinner table with family and friends to share good food, warm laughter, and the happy memories of Thanksgivings past. But for many families, whose loved ones serve in the Armed Forces, this year's Thanksgiving celebration will not be complete.
A familiar voice will not be heard and a chair at the table will remain empty because they have someone far from home serving our country.
Today also, members of the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard (men and women, Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard alike) will gather in mess halls or in tents across the globe as friends and comrades to enjoy the traditional Thanksgiving meal.
So, as those of us who are blessed to be with our families celebrate and give thanks, let us remember, in our prayers, the homes that have an empty chair at the table and also offer a special prayer of thanksgiving and ask Gods Blessings for the brave men and women of our Armed Forces, whose service and sacrifice will, we further pray, make the world a better and safer place. And a very special prayer dear God, for those homes that have an empty chair that will forever remain vacant and for those servicemen and women who have come back to us, may their sacrifice not have been in vain.

Some people should NOT remove their clothing in public places.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. We have many young folks serving in the armed Forces so we can sleep peaceful. We also have people serving in medical, fire departments, police departments, power generation and distribution folks et al. As we sit and give thanks for our blessings we need to remember to say a little prayer for everyone making our enjoyment possible. Everyone running to a store needs to thank the clerk. Lot of us deplorables are required to make things happen. Our armed forces are out there so we can be here. The support folks are contributing too. Blessings to all.
Bible in a Year:
I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. Psalm 9:1
In preparation for Xaviers first job interview, my husband, Alan, handed our son a pack of thank-you cards for him to send out after he met with prospective employers. He then pretended to be a hiring interviewer, using his decades of experience as a manager to ask Xavier questions. After the role-playing, our son tucked several copies of his resume into a folder. He smiled when Alan reminded him about the cards. I know, he said. A sincere thank-you note will set me apart from all the other applicants.
When the manager called to hire Xavier, he expressed gratitude for the first hand-written thank-you card hed received in years.
Saying thanks makes a lasting impact. The psalmists heartfelt prayers and grateful worship were preserved in the book of Psalms. Though there are one hundred and fifty psalms, these two verses reflect a message of thankfulness: I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High (Psalm 9:12).
We will never be able to finish expressing our gratitude for all Gods wonderful deeds. But we can start with a sincere thank you through our prayers. We can nurture a lifestyle of grateful worship, praising God and acknowledging all Hes done and all He promises Hell do.
What would you like to thank God for on this day Hes made? How can writing down prayers of thanks help us cultivate a spirit of gratitude in all circumstances?
Generous and loving God, please help us acknowledge the countless and wonderful ways You work.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...ready for Thanksgiving? Getting together with your sister and family? Penny ready?
It is blowing really hard and the temp is back up to 40+
I have a post office tub on my porch for packages, etc, and I just heard it banging on the railing...I have it attached to the rail with a bungee cord (after chasing it down the street a couple times). This wind can drive one crazy.
Howdy, Publius.
Very nice symphony! Kicked back, enjoying it.
Any plans for tomorrow or will it be a quiet day like it will here?
Dinner with my boss and his wife of 56 years, along with some friends from their church.
