‘Tis the month of Thanksgiving.   It’s time that we’re all reminded of the gratitude we owe to our Lord.  Yes, not just at Thanksgiving, but all year long.  But it doesn’t hurt to have an extra reminder.

Maybe you will feast on turkey, dressing and pie, or maybe not.  Perhaps you’ll gather with family and friends, or perhaps not.  You may be focused on football or have no interest.   However you spend the day, we can all give thanks to God for his goodness to us.

There’s a song called “The Goodness of God.”  One stanza was especially meaningful to me: “I love you Lord for your mercy never fails me.”   Oh yes, so very true.

We witness his mercy on the cross, a life given for us.  Yes, given for us mere mortals.  Now that’s goodness that is beyond our comprehension.  We know his mercy as he listens.  We send our simple prayers to him, sometimes we can’t even find the words.  But he listens and he answers.   We plead for relief from pain and trouble.  He takes our hand and gives us the strength and peace to get through. Yes the unconditional love of our Lord, his mercy never fails us.

I hope this simple song is meaningful to you.
