Psalm 100:1-5 KJV
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: Come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; And his truth endureth to all generations.
Thanksgiving is a great holiday. A time to pause, refocus, and count our many blessings. We give thanks to our God who is so faithful and good. Although there is turmoil and division in the world, we find a respite from the turbulence and find peace. It is a time to gather with family and friends and visit, enjoying one another's company. And we eat!
And we visit. For hours we talk, and laugh, and recollect good times in the past. We discuss what's going on now and we look to the future. Then there's coffee and dessert.
