Thankful Hearts

During this week of national thanksgiving, we can find dozens of thanksgiving prayers from the Judeo/Christian scriptures that we can offer to God with grateful hearts.  Psalm 118 is one such Psalm and I encourage you to re-visit this blog each day this week and pray this prayer: 

O give thanks to the Lord,
     for God is good; God's steadfast love endures for ever!
Open to me the gates of righteousness,
     that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord;
     the rithteous shall enter through it.
I thank thee that thou hast answered me
     and hast become my salvation.
This is the Lord's doing;
     it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day which the Lord has made;
     let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Thou art my God, and I will give thanks to thee;
     thou art my God, I will extol thee.
O give thanks to the Lord, for God is good;
     for God's steadfast love endures forever!

Amen.
