Give Thanks

"Enter his gates with

thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and

praise his name."

~Psalm 100:4~

This Thanksgiving I've once again been reminded of just how important it is to thank and praise the Lord for all He has done! He has blessed us with so much! Many times I seem to find myself taking so much for granted and getting caught up in other things, when I should be spending much more time thanking the Lord and praising Him for His marvelous works!!! I know that having a day set aside for thanksgiving helps me to realize how very important it is to express our gratitude throughout the year---better yet throughout each and every day!

I am so thankful for my wonderful family! We had such a great time together celebrating Christmas/Thanksgiving before Grandpa and Grandma went South for the winter! (I already miss them!!!) And, goodness, did we ever eat...I think we figured that since we were combining 2 celebrations into one that we should eat for both of them too! ;)

(I put together this video of our fun time together this past summer celebrating Grandpa and Grandma's 50th wedding anniversary and gave it to them as part of their gift.)

"Let us come before him with thanksgiving..." (Psalm 95:2)

Praise the LORD and give thanks for all the things He has done!!!

(By the way...I do realize that everyone is moving on to Christmas by now and that this post is very late---actually I re-discovered it today, December 20th, and am finally posting it---but I figured that I might as well post it anyway! ;)
