Being that God has answered our prayers so graciously, and being that He has shown mercy on this nation this year and always - you are hereby invited to offer your praise to the one and only King of kings and Lord of lords for his bountiful blessings towards us on this fifth day of praise on Free Republic. This thread will not be dedicated to requests - rather, it will be a two week period, culminating in Thanksgiving day, in which the people of God's blessings come together in praise towards Him and Who He is. Join us today!
["]It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord." Across the uncertain ways of space and time our hearts echo those words, for the days are with us again when, at the gathering of the harvest, we solemnly express our dependence upon Almighty God.
The final months of this year, now almost spent, find our Republic and the Nations joined with it waging a battle on many fronts for the preservation of liberty.
In giving thanks for the greatest harvest in the history of our Nation, we who plant and reap can well resolve that in the year to come we will do all in our power to pass that milestone; for by our labors in the fields we can share some part of the sacrifice with our brothers and sons who wear the uniform of the United States.
It is fitting that we recall now the reverent words of George Washington, “Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy Protection,” and that every American in his own way lift his voice to heaven.
I recommend that all of us bear in mind this great Psalm:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Inspired with faith and courage by these words, let us turn again to the work that confronts us in this time of national emergency: in the armed services and the merchant marine; in factories and offices; on farms and in the mines; on highways, railways, and airways; in other places of public service to the Nation; and in our homes.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby invite the attention of the people to the joint resolution of Congress approved December 26, 1941, which designates the fourth Thursday in November of each year as Thanksgiving Day; and I request that both Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 1942, and New Year’s Day, January 1, 1943, be observed in prayer, publicly and privately.
I praise God, my Redeemer and Savior. My justification and salvation. In Him do I trust!
Praise God. Our nation has HIS favor. May we Honor Him always.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, the LORD hath done great things for them. The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. Praise the LORD: for the LORD is good; sing praises unto His Name; for it is pleasant. All the kings of the earth shall praise Thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of Thy mouth. Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.
I Love my King! My God, I Sing
For JOY at the Gift that You Gave
O Father my King, before You I'm Clean!
My sins You've Purged, my Debt You have Payed.
O Ancient of Days, You're Worthy of Praise,
You're Worthy of our Worship and Love
O Jesus my Lord, Whom I Bow before
You're King in earth and in Heaven Above.
O Jehovah You Reign, Thou Ancient of Days
O King of saints, Your Kingdom is Sure
Your Reign of Peace will never Cease;
Your Righteous Rule will Ever Increase!
I Praise You, my God! I Worship, Honor, Adore, and Exalt You! Accept my Song of Praise, for the Glory of my Christ, amen.
Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so, say so.
Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so.

Joy to the world the Lord has come! Let earth receive her King!!!
My heart sings for He has done great things!!!!
Hallelujah !!! What a Savior!!!

Thank you God Almighty for protecting your people from the darkness that haunts the evil heart.
Thank you Jesus for another great day. To You go all the praise, and all the honor, and all the glory. Amen.
All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, and Him who reigns
With them in highest heaven;
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore. (Martin Rinkart)
