Happy Thanksgiving!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!

His faithful love endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of gods.

His faithful love endures forever.

Give thanks to the Lord of lords.

His faithful love endures forever.

--Psalm136

I give thanks to the Lord for the life he gave to me,

for the grandparents who raised me,

for Darlene, and the daughters we raised together,

for the grandchildren whom they and their young men gave me,

for the rest of my family,

for the mountains, rivers, woodlands, deserts, lakes and oceans I've been allowed to see,

for good music, and good food,

for good teachers,

for good pets, and the companionship they provided me,

for happiness, joy, sadness and pain,

for forgiveness, mercy, and love

for Jesus, the Messiah! Amen!
