My Prayer for you all on this Thanksgiving Day - is that you may be blessed! I am so grateful to the Lord above for so many things - for salvation, faith, precious family, dear friends, warm home, and love beyond measure and I pray the same for all of you.....
On this Thanksgiving Day, my heart ponders about those Pilgrims who crossed an ocean to an unknown land - seeking and yearning for religious freedom. How brave and courageous those men and women were... who endured through sickness, bitter cold, and hunger. Through all their hardships, they leaned on their faith in God and gave Thanks on that first Thanksgiving for all their blessings of coming to this new land, America.
May we never forget the sacrifices our Ancestors made - so we can be free today!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!!
God's Blessings to You All!!!
Before I close, Here is a favorite Hymn of mine for Thanksgiving:
"We Gather Together"
We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.
Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!
We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
(Hear beautiful midi music for this song, here)
