A Letter of Thanksgiving

November 22, 2021

When someone is extraordinary in their kindness and love to us, we often do not know how to express thankfulness or genuine praise. In Psalm 136, a King by the name of David is taking on the seemingly impossible task of expressing his thankfulness and praise to God for who He is and what He has done. Over the next few days, as we reflect on what we are most thankful for during the Thanksgiving holiday, perhaps these words of David could serve as a guide for our thoughts. We hope you’ll take the time to read his words that can be found penned below:

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever;

4 to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever; 5 to him who by understanding made the heavens, for his steadfast love endures forever; 6 to him who spread out the earth above the waters, for his steadfast love endures forever; 7 to him who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures forever; 8 the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures forever; 9 the moon and stars to rule over the night, for his steadfast love endures forever;
