Henry Alford, (from England) in 1844 wrote the hymn, Come Ye Thankful People, Come.

Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home!
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied;
Come to God’s own temple, come;
Raise the song of harvest home!

Our harvests tend nowadays to be gathered from local grocery stores or even delivered to our front doors.  Let your feast of Thanksgiving, not just your family’s favorite dishes of food, but your feast of GIVING THANKS for God loving you unconditionally, begin anew each day.  Your very breath, your heart beats, your eye blinks, and so much more you have to be thankful God provides.  Feast on all your blessings from our dear Lord.  Anticipate His return and gratefully receive His provisions.

Happy Thanksgiving!
