Thanksgiving
“Shout to God with loud shouts of praise.”
--Psalm 47: 1
● Hopefully your day will be more than feasting!
● Hopefully your day will include remembering.
● Hopefully your day will have some moments for authentic, soulful praise to God.
Praise and thanksgiving to God is central to life. I really appreciate these words from Rabbi Abraham Heschel, noted writer and teacher, “No one attains faith without first achieving the prerequisites of faith. First we praise, then we believe. We begin with a sense of wonder and arrive at radical amazement. The first response is reverence and awe, openness to the mystery that surrounds, and we are led to be overwhelmed by the glory.”
May your Thanksgiving week have enough time for you to shout your praises.
