While Thanksgiving Day really isn’t a “church year” holiday — the Revised Common Lectionary provides for readings today. I used the Psalm’s and Philippians’ passage for my sermon this past Sunday. In Deuteronomy, we are reminded to give thanks for the wonderful things the God has done. These are instructions that were given to the Israelites after leaving Egypt and after wondering in the wilderness for 40 years.

It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord…It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, because God’s love endures forever!
