A Thanksgiving Psalm

Psalm 100
"On your feet now - applaud God!
Bring a gift of laughter,
sing yourselves into his presence.

Know this: God is God, and God, God.
He made us; we didn't make him.
We're his people, his well-tended sheep.

Enter with the password: "Thank you!"
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank him. Worship him.

For God is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever."

Awesome, isn't it? How often do we stop and realize that EVERYTHING is from God? A dear friend reminded me this week of how we should wake up in the morning, thanking Him for the very breath we breathe, for the energy to even get out of bed. These words really convicted me that I don't say thank you to God often enough, and for every single thing in my life, not just the big things.

Well, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to thank Him. So, as you are sitting around that table, inhaling all of that delicious food, don't forget the one who provided it for you, along with every single good thing in your life.

May God bless you this Thanksgiving!!
