Tonight is our last sleep before Thanksgiving. Today I don’t want to spend a lot of time on my words. There is a Psalm that I read at the summit of the mountains I climb and now and again when I just need reminded of how good I really have it. I invite you to sit down in a comfortable spot. Take a few deep breaths and read these words over and over until it feels like you are breathing them. Then sit for a while and be.
A Thanksgiving Psalm
100
1-2 On your feet now—applaud God!
Bring a gift of laughter,
sing yourselves into his presence.
3 Know this: God is God, and God, God.
He made us; we didn’t make him.
We’re his people, his well-tended sheep.
4 Enter with the password: “Thank you!”
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank him. Worship him.
5 For God is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.
Rest well in the goodness of God!
