Nance R.	November 26, 2008 8:01 AM "Now thank we all our God" is an ancient and still popular Christian hymn. It is a translation from the German "Nun danket alle Gott", written circa 1636 by Martin Rinkart, which in turn was inspired by Sirach, chapter 50 verses 22-24. Martin Rinkart (1586–1649) The tune for "Now thank we all our God", attributed to Johann Cruger and written circa 1647, is used in J.S. Bach's BWV386 and BWV657 (April 9, 1598 – February 23, 1662) Time To Give Thanks~A Thanksgiving Prayer http://www.things-to-say.com/Christian/thanksgiving.htm Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices, Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices; Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today. O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us, With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us; And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed; And free us from all ills, in this world and the next! All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given; The Son and Him Who reigns with Them in highest Heaven; The one eternal God, whom earth and Heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

Nance R.	November 23, 2008 10:12 PM What do we have to be thankful for? Look around us, inside, outside. Look at our family and friends. Look at how wonderfully we are made. Consider the One Who created the earth and everything in it. Every single thing we have we have from God. Do you have even one thing to be thankful for? Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!(Even when we can't carry a tune? That's why it says joyful noise and not tuneful song!) Get to know Him better. He has wonderful things for us! He is our loving Father and wants to bless us because we are His children! We have thanksgiving in our hearts~ http://my.homewithgod.com/heavenlymidis2/glad.html [ send green star]

Valorie P.	November 18, 2008 8:25 PM Beautiful graphics! What an amazing thread. After Thanksgiving dinner I like to hike among nature as I am so very thankful that we live in such a beautiful area. This is one of the most beautiful places to be with nature in the fall. Actually taken in the early morning on a very foggy day.

Add the sugar, coffee and vanilla; beat with hand-held mixer on high speed for 10 minutes or until tripled in volume. 4. Meanwhile, heat together butter, bittersweet chocolate and unsweetened chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water until butter and chocolate are melted.

Conni M.	Thanksgiving Celebration Room October 28, 2008 8:58 PM I decided to open this room for the celebration of Thanksgiving. Even though many of you may not celebrate Thanksgiving this would be a good place to tell us what you are thankful for in your life. We can also post graphics, share recipes and family traditions. Please feel free to jump right in!! *The History of Thanksgiving* Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, at the end of the harvest season, is an annual American Federal holiday to express thanks for one's material and spiritual possessions. The period from Thanksgiving Day to New Year's Day often is called the holiday season. Most people celebrate by gathering at home with family or friends for a holiday feast. Thanksgiving generally is considered secular and is not directly based in religious canon. Though the holiday's origins can be traced to harvest festivals that have been celebrated in many cultures since ancient times, the American holiday has religious undertones related to the deliverance of the English settlers after the brutal winter at Plymouth, Massachusetts.
