Thanksgiving 2015
Today as I rest from rising early to wrestle a twenty something pound bird rubbed in olive oil and dusted with heavenly spices filled with memories, I think of what I have to be thankful for today. There have been so many obstacles over recent years, it seems hard to believe things are as good as they are. We have a place to stay with a roof and walls that keep the elements out. We have heat, and water, and lights. There will be good foods on the table at the house we go to today. Family and friends will gather. There will be laughter, stories, and falling asleep after eating turkey. Memories will be made afresh. There many far worse off, and many far better off, and none of that matters. Our Father Yahuah (Lord) loves each and every one of us. His heart and His love is just that big that He can do that. Today I want to place a scripture here that when it is read, it inspires people to believe just one more time.
Psalms 105:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Today, let our hearts sing with thanksgiving.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. We look and see Your kingdom, and not the world around us. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts that hurt from days gone by. Heal our minds that we might think only on your scriptures. Deliver us from the evil that is round about us. So many have stolen so much from Your people and even now continue to steal from us. Rise up, my King, and deliver Your people! Come with a strong hand and an outstretched arm to destroy these evil works. Grind them to powder. Return one hundred time one hundred fold to Your people that which has been stolen. Come quickly, deliver us today. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
