Forget about the turkey, the dressing and the sides forget about the pumpkin pecan or chocolate pies. Instead lift up your voice, with shouts of joy and praise to God your loving Father let your thanksgiving raise. Forget about the cleaning, the flowers and table setting forget about all the stuff . . . over which you’re sweating. Instead show the Lord, your genuine gratitude give your thanks to Jesus for His gracious servitude. Forget about the dinner, and cooking that big bird . . . instead let your song of praise to God, be forever heard! ~~~~~~~~ Psalm 95:1-2 O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. King James Version by Public Domain Copyright 2015 Deborah Ann Belka

The Joy of Knowing Jesus ~
There's nothing quite like,
the joy of knowing Jesus
how in every circumstance
He is always with us.No matter the situation,
Jesus is always there
our happiness is in knowing
our burdens He will bear.In times of want and need,
whatever be our condition
our gladness is in knowing
He'll supply each provision.When feeling overwhelmed,
by so many troubling things
our peace comes from knowing
the joy ~ Jesus brings!~~~~~~~~
