This is Thanksgiving week, and I trust our hearts are full of thankfulness for all God's goodness to us. If we were to try to count up all the things for which we bave to thank God, Thanksgiving Day itself would not be long enough for us to tell all the good gifts that we have received from the hands of our loving heavenly Father. Good health is one of the things for which we ouqht to thank God. If we are well and strong, let us remem ber that it is God who keeps us safe from al! disease and sickness. The blessing of good health is one of God's choicest gifts, and yet sometimes we forget to thank Him for it. We should thank our heavenly Father for the food and clothing whici we re ceive. ' Ic is God who feeds the birds of the air and clothes the flowers of the field in all their beauty. It is God, too, who gives our daily food, and who provides the clothing which we wear. The birds sing their song of praise to God, and the flowers send out their sweet perfume to the glory of his name. Let us also raise up our voices to God in joyful thanksgiving for His loving care for us. Kind friends are sent to us by God and this is another reason for thankfulness to Him, We ought to thank God on Thanksgiv ing Day for the dear ones who love us, and who make our lives so happy by what they do for us.
