Setting the mood for Thanksgiving ...

The following comes from a book written by one of the members of Arlington United Methodist Church. Her name is Susanna Lahde, and presently she is in heaven. These words of hers are drawn from her reflections on Psalm 106:1-3, 48. I see them as fitting to read aloud and set the mood or theme of a Thanksgiving prayer or meal. This may even be used for a prayer. Copies of her book are available at AUMC.

Thanks to the Lord for he is good.

Proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord; declare his praise.

Praise the Lord from everlasting to everlasting.

Bless those who maintain justice doing right.

Thanks to the Lord for doing good.

His love endures forever.

His love endures.

May your Thanksgiving Day be a God-centered celebration of hope and renewal.
