Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

"Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." Psalm 150:6

Today is Thanksgiving Day, and I want to take this opportunity to thank you, my Freedom Fighter brothers, for your being a part of my daily journey with you. I am thankful for the privilege of sharing together each day, and pray that you and your family will have a wonderful day celebrating the goodness of God.

I share with you this morning the words of a wonderful Thanksgiving hymn of praise. Take some time this morning to reflect on these words:

Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving
To God the Creator triumphantly raise.
Who fashioned and made us,
Protected and stayed us,
Who guideth us on to the end of our days.
His banners are o'er us,
His light goes before us,
A pillar of fire shining forth in the night.
Till shadows have vanished
And darkness is banished,
As forward we travel from light into light.

His law He enforces, the stars in their courses,
The sun in His orbit, obediently shine.
The hills and the mountains, the rivers and fountains,
The deeps of the ocean proclaim Him Divine.
We too, should be voicing our love and rejoicing,
With glad adoration a song let us raise.
Till all things now living unite in Thanksgiving,
To God in the highest, hosanna and praise!

I want to especially thank Chris Hughes, Pastor George VanSandt, Dr. Henry Lutz and Pastor John Strain for their contributions throughout this year. You men have helped to lighten the load.

On behalf of the Board and staff of America's KESWICK -- Happy Thanksgiving. May God bless you. -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK

God's WORD for US: Proverbs 26; Ezekiel 27-29; 1 Peter 3

Great Quote: The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God, and the church is famishing for want of HIS presence. The instant cure of most of our religious ills would be to enter the Presence, to become suddenly aware that we are God and that God is in us. This would lift us out of our pitiful narrowness and cause our hearts to be enlarged. -- A. W. Tozer

ONE INCREDIBLE MOMENT: You won't want to miss the KESWICK CELEBRATION CHOIR as they present Max Lucado and Tom Fettke's incredible Christmas cantata this Saturday night at America's KESWICK. Come enjoy the beautiful "Hall of Christmas Trees" and then the cantata at 7:00 PM. The program will air live from our website: www.americaskeswick.org
