Happy Thanksgiving!

Psalm 100 (The Message)

A Thanksgiving Psalm

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. 

Today, I encourage you to act on the words of the old hymn:  "Count your many blessings, name them one by one; Count your many blessings, see what God has done..."
