Thanksgiving 2006

It's quiet here this morning but it will be very busy later.

1. Kathee has the dinning room set for 9: (our family (5), Mom, Roger & Kathy, and Eliot
   
2. Roger (son) and Kathee will do the cooking later. Some dishes have already been prepared (e.g.: Kathee made a homemade pumpkin cheesecake!)
   
3. Guests should be arriving at about 1:00 and dinner is planned for 2:00
   
4. Men will probably watch football after dinner (I know I will be watching the Denver game at 7:00 tonight
   

I dreamed in the night that I called up George Schaut and asked for him to hire me back in Open Systems BCP.

Thoughts on Thanksgiving:

1. While I am thankful for family, a warm home, and material things (and I am!)
   
2. But the ultimate "thing" (not rightly a thing!) is my Savior!

Psalm 100 - a Thanksgiving Psalm

1 Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5 For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Brief thoughts on Psalm 100:

1. There is a true God who transcends the universe!
   
2. He is our Creator (It is He who has made us)
   
3. His character: good, merciful, and true!
   
4. Those who know this God declare: We are His people and the sheep of His pasture
   
5. He is worthy of our service!
   
6. He is worthy of our praise!
   

For Him I am thankful!
