Give Thanks

 By: Joanne Viola

May we begin this week with remembering the grace and mercy of the Lord upon each of us this past year. May you all have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

 “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.”
(Psalm 118:1, NASB)

 

“You only are the Maker
Of all things near and far
You paint the wayside flower,
You light the evening star.
The winds and waves obey you,
By you the birds are fed;
Much more to us your children,
You give our daily bread.
We thank you then, Creator,
For all things bright and good,
The seed time and the harvest,

Our life, our health, our food. Amen.”

—Matthias Claudius, 1740–1815
