Though our mouths were full of song as the sea,
and our tongues of exultation as the multitude of its waves,
and our lips of praise as the wide-extended firmament;
though our eyes shone with light like the sun and the moon,
and our hands were spread forth like the eagles of heaven,
and our feet were swift as hinds,
we should still be unable to thank thee and bless thy name,
O Lord our God and God of our fathers,
for one thousandth or one ten thousandth part of the bounties which thou has bestowed upon our fathers and upon us.
----the Hebrew Prayer Book
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus
----1 Thessalonians 5:22
Listen, there aren't words to express how thankful I am...I will eat a real Thanksgiving meal, I will feel well, I will rejoice in God my Saviour ... I remember where I was a year ago and I am overwhelmed with gratitude and joy. Thanksgiving day...every moment...I overflow with thanksgiving. Can you imagine?
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Amen and amen, Steve.... your gratitude bursts off of the page and ricochets around my wood-paneled office. It's stealing into the kitchen to nibble on the goodies I'm toting to the home of my friends! It's looking to see if I have any pie in the house. It's a dancing happy gratitude. It warms my heart mightily. Blessings again to you, my friend.
