Thanks Norm.

This morning, if you have your Bibles turn with me, if you will do the book of Psalms, that's where we're going to spend, most of our time, looking at what to be thankful for.

I have taken the points from the Puritan Thomas Manton, and going to share those with you along with some scripture verses that we have thrown together for this topic this morning.

We have a lot to be thankful for if we know Christ is our Lord and savior.

Do we not?

He is good.

He is merciful, he's a god of love.

He's a god of truth, but he's also a god of wrath and we need to understand that aspect of him as well.

But the Puritan Thomas Merton, our Mansion gave a sermon and his sermon was entitled entitle, the Christian special duty of giving thanks and then that he reflects upon Psalm 119 verse 62, where he says at midnight, I will rise to give.

Thanks unto thee because of a righteous judgement.

Have you ever tried that?

Have you ever tried to set a time where you say I'm going to get up in the middle of the night and just pray to God.

Sometimes were awake in the middle of night.

I understand that in and I had somebody get mad at me one time when I said there's times when I'm laying in bed and I just pray to God.

And I fall asleep, never-ending that prayer.

But then I wake up in the morning and that's the first thing on my mind is I never ended that prayer.

So you begin bringing.

I think that's a good thing.

The fall asleep with God, on your mind, and wake up with got on your mind right there.

So many other things in this world that can take over in our minds.

And unless we let them take over in and run our lives that we just need to put our faith and our trust in God and trust him through it all.

And whether we wake up at midnight on purpose to give thanks to God her or whether we take that moment, those moments that we can and we probably need to strive to take more moments to pray to him but rise up.

Give thanks unto thee because of the righteous judge was not one of the things this morning that I want to give.

Thanks for that we haven't done in this early.

We didn't your early service is for all of our men and women who have served in the military are veterans.

We had registered a on Friday, so I would love you if you would to stand.

So we can give you some honors and praise this morning are men and women who have served in the military.

Would you please stand?

Thank you.

We wouldn't have the freedoms.

We have had not these men and women in our church and around the country and across our world.

Had they not giving up their time to help the guy to direct in that aspect.

God is The Giver of all things.

We understand that.

But he uses men and women today to accomplish his tasks and sometimes a task that God has before us or are not always a task, we want to do, that makes sense.

I mean I've done a lot of things that I didn't individual humanely want to do, it's not what I want to do but God calls you to it and you go through it with him.

So this morning as we give thanks to those around us, whether it's in the middle of the night, Weathers in the middle of the day, whatever time that is, make sure that you set a time aside to give, thanks to God for all the things that he has done for his righteous judgments.

There are those who made me a little disappointed because of what has taken place this past week in the election.
