Thanksgiving salad... It's good for God's people

Psalm 95: Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
    let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
    let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the Lord is a great God,
    and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
    the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
    let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
For he is our God,
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    and the sheep of his hand.
We are reminded here that as God's people we have double reason to be thankful: first, because God is a great creator; second, because He is a great Deliverer, our Deliverer.  Everything that is, He has made and has willingly shared with us.  Beyond that, He cares for us as a loving shepherd, Who saves us from ourselves and our going astray.  The psalm goes on to call us to correction - for all our failures to be and live thankfully.  We need to have more of this thanksgiving "let us" - thanksgiving and praise, for Who He is and all He has done.
