This hymn has been running through my mind all morning long, as I've been whistling and cooking in the kitchen. Our blessings this year are too numerous to count, but we try to face each and every day with an attitude of gratitude. (After all, that's why this blog was started!)
It is a low-key day at the Broadhurst house. One son is with his wife and her family, and the other son is with his mom and her family. Both of my parents are back on the east coast with the rest of my family! Thus, it's just me and John, and we are enjoying the quiet simplicity of a day with football, yummy food, and beautiful weather. We are thankful for each other, for our family members who aren't with us, and for the love they give us each day. Not a day goes by that I am not thankful for our loved ones, friends and family, and the joy they share with us.
From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving, and may we always be mindful of the words from Psalm 100 ... The glory on this day goes straight to God!
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Great idea for a Thanksgiving post!!! :) Love that Psalm!
