Thanksgiving Observance [Author Unknown]
Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Psalm 100 VOICE
1
Raise your voices;
make a beautiful noise to the Eternal, all the earth.
2
Serve the Eternal gladly;
enter into His presence singing songs of joy!
3
Know this: the Eternal One Himself is the True God.
He is the One who made us;
we have not made ourselves;
we are His people, like sheep grazing in His fields.
4
Go through His gates, giving thanks;
walk through His courts, giving praise.
Offer Him your gratitude and praise His holy name.
5
Because the Eternal is good,
His loyal love and mercy will never end,
and His truth will last throughout all generations.
Prayer: Lord, today, we pray for the whole world to wake up and bow before your sacred Presence in honor and with thanksgiving. As your sons and daughters gather and bow to give you thanks, please fill us with joy unspeakable. Your love and faithfulness leads us forward in confident hope even in the midst of challenges. We praise you for your goodness toward us and thank you for grace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
NOTE: I will be sharing our Advent devotions, starting Monday. Blessings!
