A Hidden Spice for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day 2022

Sometimes I am shocked by the way The Word and life have a gift of togetherness.  I am still reading 1 Chronicles, and it can still be dry, name after name unpronounceable by a mouth shaped in the southern United States but this morning the book was spiced with life.  In chapter 16 King David returns the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and “Then on that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the Lord…” and he has written a song to be sung.  It begins “Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name…” and continues, a beautiful song of thanksgiving.  I had never thought how appropriate this would be on Thanksgiving until I read it on Thanksgiving.  So, to all of you this day, King David and I wish you a sweet song of Thanksgiving to the Lord “from whom all blessings flow”, good family, good food, and good songs.  

From our family to yours.
