The Bible and Thanksgiving.

In everything give thanks, for this la the will of God in Christ Jesus concerns ing us. Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon

his name, make known his deeds among the people. Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endureth forever. I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people. . Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving. And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven and proclaim and publish the free offerings. For the Lord shall comfort Zion; he will comfort her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the Lord therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody. Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and communicate forget not, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Just said His Gobblership, “Just wait! If my time ever comes—me, oh my! I’ll see man isn’t burned when the tablee are turned And I am the chef by and by!”
