Thanksgiving Links!
Father,
we do well to join all creation, in heaven and on earth, in praising you,
our mighty God through Jesus Christ our Lord. You made us in your own image
and set us over all creation. Once you chose a people and gave them a
destiny and, when you brought them out of bondage to freedom, they carried
with them the promise that all people would be blessed and all people could
be free.
What the prophets pledged was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, your Son and our
saving Lord. It has come to pass in every generation for all who have
believed that Jesus by his death and resurrection gave them a new freedom in
his Spirit.
It happened to our ancestors, who came to this land as if out of the desert
into a place of promise and hope. It happens to us still, in our time, as
you lead all people through your Church into the blessed vision of peace.
And so, with hearts full of love, we join the angels, today and every day of
our lives, to sing your glory in a hymn of endless praise!
