Thanksgiving
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
break forth into joyous song and sing praises.”
--An ancient psalm of the Hebrew people
While there are obviously difficult times within our land, we are surrounded by numerous reasons to make a joyful noise of thanks to God. C. S. Lewis, well known author who made a tremendous journey of faith during his lifetime, called praise “inner health made audible.”
One of his writings is titled Reflections on the Psalms. Here are some pertinent words for consideration this Thanksgiving:
“The healthy person,even if luxuriously brought up and widely experienced in good cookery, could praise a very modest meal; the dyspeptic and the snob find fault with all.”
Let praise and thanksgiving sound forth from your lips this season. Break forth with positive notes of praise. We are blessed with bounty and God’s goodness surrounds us always.
Prayer: For all your blessings, great and small, we praise your name, O Lord. Amen.
--Ben Keckler
