Thanksgiving in song - with love from Momma C
Tripp and I have gotten the turkey in. Before it gets too busy around here, I want to thank you all for being here. I started blogging almost five years ago because as a writer I wanted a more immediate way to connect with readers. I thank God daily (many times daily) for the gift of the Internet and the freedom to share here each day.
I thank God for all who are involved in raising he next generation - for while our hope lies in God, it also lies in how that hope is expressed in the next generation. Thank you to each of you who get up every morning with the same hope I have: to raise children who love and serve the Lord.
The tale of the Pilgrims is a rich reminder for us to give thanks for all the circumstances in our lives and to offer them to God, seeking His harvest - which can end up looking very different from what we had planned. Let us commit to loving Him more deeply this year, listening more intently for His voice, and offering each day as a sacrifice to Him.
In the following traditional Thanksgiving hymns, I looked for a variety of presentation styles. If you have an extra few minutes, share them with your families.
Be inspired!
Come, Ye Thankful People Come (lyrics at Cyberhymnal)
We Gather Together (Lyrics at Cyberhymnal)
We Plow the Fields and Scatter (Lyrics at Cyberhymnal)
Now Thank We All Our God (lyrics at Cyberhymnal)

Thank you for posting these! I have not learned how to read music yet and I tend to learn songs much easier if I hear someone else sing them. Now I have something to work from while teaching these songs to the next generation!
Blessings ~
