What does thanksgiving mean to you? The Laced with Grace team is sharing their thankfulness with their readers. I hope you will be able to join in…

Oh come, let us sing to the LORD;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the LORD is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
(Psalm 95:1-5 ESV)

Have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving, my dear friends!!!

Love & peace,
Iris

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.”

“In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!
Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
~ Psalm 71:1-3 (ESV)

Do you have a comfort food? I do. No, it is not chocolate (although I do like chocolate – a lot), but mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes remind me of home; so once in a while I have to make them. Mind you, mine are not nearly as good as my mom’s, but they still taste good…

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?” ~ John 8:31-33 (ESV)

This weekend is a big celebration here in the United States of America…

“Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” ~ Philippians 4:11-13 (ESV)

Have you ever seen the movie “Giant”?…

“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 (ESV)

The victory is ours if we believe that Christ rose from the dead. Praise God for His incredible mercy and grace.
