Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
--------
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good.
For His mercy endures forever. Ps. 107:1
--------
It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night... Ps. 92:1-2
--------
"No people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness."
- Theodore Roosevelt, Inaugural address, Saturday, March 4, 1905
