Happy Thansgiving!

 
Grace and Thanksgiving

      We thank Thee, Lord, for quiet upland lawns,

For misty loveliness of autumn dawns,

 

For gold and russet of the ripened fruit

For yet another years's fulfiment, Lord, 

We thank Thee now.

For joy for glowing colour, flash of wings,

We thank thee Lord; for all the little things

   

That make the love and laughter of our days,

     For home and happiness and friends, we praise

And thank Thee now.

What Ever Happened to Giving Thanks?

 



   I don't know about you but every store that I have been has had all of their Christmas decorations up and been playing Christmas music very loudly ....in early November.   It seems that every year Christmas decorations, commercials, and music come out earlier and earlier.  It seems like everyone has forgotten that it is time to give thanks to God for everything, health, wealth, family, and most importantly, salvation.  Our country wants to skip the thanks and go straight to the list of wants.  Am I the only one that this bothers?




  "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,    II Timothy 3:1&2
