Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing you a day of warm family gatherings, scrumptious food, and humble gratitude.  Happy Thanksgiving!

"Let us praise Him, in fact, for everything that we receive from His generous hand, for although we deserve little, He provides an abundance.  The sweetest and loudest note in our thankful songs should be of redeeming love.  God's redeeming acts toward His chosen are forever the favorite themes of their praise.  If we know what redemption means, let us not withhold our hymns of thanksgiving.  We have been redeemed from the power of our corruptions, lifted from the depth of sin in which we were naturally plunged.  We have been led to the cross of Christ- our shackles of guilt have been removed.  We are no longer slaves, but children of the living God, and can anticipate the time when we will be presented before the throne without spot or wrinkle or any such thing.  Even now by faith we wrap ourselves in the fair linen that is to be our everlasting array and rehearse our unceasing thankfulness to the lord our Redeemer." --Charles Spurgeon
