A Thanksgiving Primer

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.

(Psalm 95:1-5)
If you're just not feelin' it... Thanksgiving, that is - prepare yourself for it.  To be sure, it comes less than natural in this day of arguing, whining and complaining in which we live.  So, get ready for it. Find a song of thanksgiving to sing. Join with others who will give thanks (our congregation would love to have you...). Remember and recognize the Good Hand from whom all blessings flow. Acknowledge God as Creator and King.  Set your perspective in order, and you just might find yourself becoming thankful... and that's a good thing.
