Happy Thanksgiving...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

"Remembering our dependence on past mercies kindles gratitude. Gratitude is past-oriented dependence; faith is future-oriented dependence. Both forms of dependence are humble, self-forgetting, and God-exalting. If we do not believe that we are deeply dependent on God for all we have or hope to have, then the very spring of gratitude and faith runs dry."

John Piper

"Gratitude is what we express when we take time every Thanksgiving Day to remember God's past mercies and provisions and then pause to thank Him for them."
~fm. Thanksgiving...A Time To Remember by Barbara Rainey~

"Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for
He
is
Good!"
Psalm 118:1
