Sunday's Hymn

Now Thank We All Our God

Now thank we all our God
With heart and hands and voices
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom his world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms,
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in his grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, and him who reigns
With them in highest heaven-
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heav’n adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

—Martin Rinkart

Thanksgiving 21

I’m thankful for my location. I’m in town—and I like that—but I can walk out the door of my home right into the bush—and I like that, too. I can see mountains from every window. I have a big yard and good neighbours. What more could I ask?

What are you thankful for today?

• Elle is thankful for field trips.
• Connie is thankful for a certain piano teacher.
• Kim is thankful for her mother-in-law.
• Ann is thankful for family and being together.
• Lisa is thankful for breakfast at Hardee’s.
• Dorothy is thankful for pink. (Me too. I avoided pink for a couple of years in an attempt to up my level of sophistication. It didn’t work and I don’t care anymore anyway.)
• Jodi is thankful for a list of good gifts.
• Kim is thankful for a quiet dinner out with her husband.
• Jenn is thankful for vacation week.
• Becky is thankful that God gave her a brain that can figure out new recipes for her special diet.
• Carla is thankful for her tribe and getting together for Thanksgiving dinner.
• Tulipgirl is thankful for a diagnosis and more.

Here are three ways you can join in the thanksgiving. 

• Mention something you’re thankful for in the comments here and I’ll included it in one of my thanksgiving posts, or
• Email me to tell me what you’re thankful for and I’ll include it in a post, or
• Post your thankful thought(s) on your own blog, send me the link(s), and I’ll link to your post(s). If you plan to make your thanksgiving posts daily during the month, let me know that and you won’t need to send me daily links.

More details here.

If you’ve got a thanksgiving post and I missed it, please let me know so I can add your link.
