FREEPER CANTEEN HOLIDAY SPECIAL

It's Thanksgiving. In honor of that, let's all share some of the things you are thankful for.

Are you thankful for family and friends?

It's Thanksgiving....do you know where your turkey is?

Let's try not to eat so much that we fall asleep and miss the football games.

Then there are those shoppers out there who brave the mad rush of Black Friday.
Are you one of them?

But, rest assured that when you've had enough and you just need to relax, the Canteen is here.

When your feet are dragging and you're ready to drop, you can drop into the Canteen, grab something to drink, and turn up the jukebox. If you don't see anything on the jukebox that soothes you, you can make a request to one of the DJs.

Come and let us give thanks for all that's good. And, don't forget to thank those to whom we owe so much!

BURP! I'm done.

Stay safe. Come back soon. Prayers for safekeeping of our military.

Harvest Home

READ: James 4:13-17; 5:7-11

You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. —James 5:8

The hymn “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come” is often sung at Christian services of thanksgiving. Written in 1844 by Henry Alford, it begins with thanks to God for crops safely gathered in before winter. But it is more than gratefulness for the bounty of the land. The hymn ends by focusing on God’s “harvest” of His people when Christ returns:

Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest-home:
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come—
Raise the glorious harvest-home.

As we give thanks for material needs supplied, it’s essential to remember that our plans are uncertain and our lives are a vapor that quickly disappear (James 4:14). James encourages us to be like a farmer waiting for his crops to grow and mature. “You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand” (5:8).

As we thank God for His faithful provision for our needs, let’s turn our thoughts to the promised return of Jesus Christ. In patient expectation, we live for Him and look for the day when He will come to gather His glorious harvest home.
 

Work and pray! Continue faith
When the Savior calleth, “Come,”
Till at last we all are garnered
To that heavenly harvest-home.  —Stinson

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!  —Revelation 22:20

I had a baby on this day in 1977, at Lemoore NAS.

I remember it well, but he doesn’t.
