A Call to Thanksgiving

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, consider the 100th Psalm:

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come into his presence with singing.

Know that the Lord is God

It is he that made us, and we are his;

We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

and his courts with praise.

Give thanks to him, bless his name.

For the Lord is Good;

his steadfast love endures forever,

and his faithfulness to all generations.

(Psalm 100 NRSV)
