Today I get to spend time with my favorite people on earth... my family. Each year, even though we have all grown up, almost all of us married and most all of us with kids... we still get together, and there is still a kids table. As I sit here typing this, I hear my mom softly humming the old hymn, We Gather Together. It is my hope that today you feel utterly blessed beyond belief in whatever the Lord has given you. Happy Thanksgiving!
We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.
Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!
We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
