Thanksgiving in August

L-R - My cousin Robin, me, and my cousin Vicki
Thanksgiving Day at our grandparents' house, 1973

My family's Thanksgiving dinner, 1973

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless Hi name." (Psalm 100:4)

        As a child, our family tradition was dinner at my grandparents' home on Forest Avenue in Fort Payne, Alabama. Every year, amongst the turkey, dressing, giblet gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, cream corn, and pickled peaches (are you drooling?) was a bowl of Chef Boyardee spaghettios and and a dish of red jello. Why? Because my grandmother enjoyed her children and grandchildren and knew that the grandkids liked spaghettios and jello. 

       King David's Psalm 100 points the way into the presence of Almighty God: through the gate of thanksgiving and across the court of praise. O Christian, please understand that Father God relishes time spent with you. Have you visited your heavenly Father today? Have you thanked Him and praised His holy name?
