Happy Thanksgiving!

"We Plough the Fields, and Scatter.."

He...gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."

Acts. 14:17

We plough the fields and scatter

The good seed on the land,

But it is fed and watered

by God's almighty hand;

He sends the snow in winter,

The warmth to swell the grain,

the breezes and the sunshine,

and soft refreshing rain.

All good gifts around us

Are sent from heav'n above;

then thank the Lord,

O thank the Lord

For all His love.

He only is the Maker

Of all things near and far;

He paints the way-side flower,

He lights the evening star;

The winds and waves obey Him,

By Him the birds are fed;

Much more to us, His children

He gives our daily bread.

All good gifts around us

Are sent from heav'n above;

Then thank the Lord,

O thank the Lord

For all His love.

We thank Thee, then, O Father,

For all things bright and good,

The seed-time and the harvest,

Our life, our health, our food:

No gifts have we to offer

For all thy love imparts,

But that which thou desirest,

Our humble, thankful hearts.

All good gifts around us

Are sent from heav'n above;

Then thank the Lord,

O thank the Lord

For all His love.

~Matthias Claudius, 1782

May you cheerfully remember that every good thing you have comes from the Hand of God, and may you thoughtfully praise His name today and everyday!

We love and miss you all!
