HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Today is the day set aside in the United States of America to give thanksgiving for all we have. But I say to you that every day should be a day of thanksgiving set aside to give thanks to God for every day is the day that He has made. We are to rejoice and be glad in it.
Spend some time today with your family thinking of all that you have to be thankful for. Even in the worst of circumstances, there is always something for which we can be thankful. Did you know that thanksgiving is contagious? It draws good things to you. People who are thankful are people who are generally prosperous and healthy and live a long life. I am told that the medical profession is now releasing information regarding the chemicals that are released in our human bodies from our brain when we are cheerful and uplifting and when we are depressed and down. Different chemicals are released. One set of chemicals enhances your health and leads to a full life. The other set of chemicals tear down your body cells and lead to disease and death.
The key to long living is a life of joy, a life of thanksgiving.
Today we are going to read Psalm 150 together. It is the last Psalm in the book of Psalms.
Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the heavens of His power!
Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness!
Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with lute and harp!
Praise Him with tambourine and [single or group] dance; praise Him with stringed and wind instruments or flutes!
Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals!
Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
Hallelujah!
