Happy Thanksgiving, and give Sasso some scritches and a quick jowl scritch for me.
He's one tough cat.

Well, you made my monitor fuzzy, dearest.

When my world is black and storm clouds hover from horizon to horizon, I can always cling to that magic moment on the alter of an Anglican Church in Singapore when God reached down to this wretched sinner and made him whole again.

That was 20 years and eleven months ago, and each day I give thanks for God's grace and love.
Thank you for the song. I can relate to the message.

May the Good Lord bless you and yours this Thanksgiving, Spookie, and may you partake of the bounty He has provided.

God had made them rejoice with great joy . . . , so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off. —Nehemiah 12:43

It's still morning here in Buffalo, sorry it's late.

Each new day gives us new reasons to sing God's praise.

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
Thank you for spending time with us today.

The Music Of Joy

Read: Nehemiah 12:27-43

God had made them rejoice with great joy . . . , so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off. —Nehemiah 12:43

Bible In One Year: 2 Corinthians 1-3

---

Several years ago, during a Christian men's conference in Boulder, Colorado, I stood with 50,000 men as we sang "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." The volume of the singing was incredible in the football stadium, and I've often wondered how it sounded outside. Could people hear it as they walked through a nearby park, sat on their patios, or drove by in cars? What impression did it leave with them?

That great sound of praise reminded me of what is described in today's Bible reading. The book of Nehemiah begins with a confession, continues with a construction project, and ends with a concert. The entire story is a study in God's faithfulness and power.

After years of hard work despite opposition, the wall of Jerusalem was rebuilt. At the dedication, two "thanksgiving choirs" stood on the wall to praise God. We are told that "the singers sang loudly . . . . God had made them rejoice with great joy . . . , so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off" (Nehemiah 12:42-43).

Joy cannot be contained. It must break out in praise to God through songs of thanksgiving. Whether those who hear our outpouring of joy understand it or not, it will resound as a chorus that cannot be ignored—the music of lives lived out in praise to God. —David McCasland

Let us celebrate together,
Lift our voice in one accord,
Singing of God's grace and mercy
And the goodness of the Lord. —Sper

Each new day gives us new reasons to sing God's praise.

Thank you for the coffee and the humor this morning, Meekie.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!

[TexasCowboy]

On this day may the blessings of joy and love pour down from Heaven like manna, and may our hearts be filled with thankfulness for God's gifts.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
