On Thanksgiving
Psalm 99
A psalm of praise.
Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness.
Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy.
Know ye that the Lord he is God:
he made us, and not we ourselves.
We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Go ye into his gates with praise,
into his courts with hymns:
and give glory to him. Praise ye his name:
For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever,
and his truth to generation and generation.
A good number of atheist Americans are going to go to their mother’s house today to eat turkey and watch the Detroit Lions lose another football game. And they are going to, ostensibly, give thanks.
But to whom, exactly, are they giving thanks? Heh heh.
I’ll tell you this: I am thankful for a good number of things, people and experiences in my life. And I give thanks to the Lord for all of it.
Enjoy your turkey today. And make sure that when you’re thanking your mom for dinner, you thank God for bringing it to your table.
Now will you please pass me the cornbread dressing? Now that’s good stuff.
