								Happy Thanksgiving to our gospel music family 
								
								
								
								Philippians (NIV) 4: 6 Do not be anxious about 
								anything, but in every situation, by prayer and 
								petition, with thanksgiving, present your 
								requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which 
								transcends all understanding, will guard your 
								hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” 
								
								
								
								"Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the 
								Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth 
								forever." (Psalm 106:1) 
								
								It 
								is a blessing to reflect on what the first 
								thanksgiving celebration was really all about.  
								Just as it is today, it focused on praises to 
								God! The Pilgrims that landed at Plymouth Rock 
								celebrated thankfully in reverence to God who 
								they credited with their blessings and their 
								hardships.   Giving thanks is the way to find 
								peace in our hearts because when we are truly 
								thankful to God, we are expressing our trust in 
								Him.  
								
								
								During our celebrations with family and friends, 
								may we say a special prayer for our military 
								personnel and their families. Let us also 
								remember those experiencing so many dire 
								circumstances today, including the sick, the 
								bereaved, the homeless, those who experienced 
								storms, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, 
								earthquakes and other catastrophes. We pray for 
								strength for them to endure as they attempt to 
								rebuild their lives.  May we have the gift of 
								sharing in our hearts and recognize those less 
								fortunate in ways that we are able to do. 
								
								
								There is nothing greater than the prayer of 
								giving sincere thanks and praises to God. We are 
								living in a blessed nation and proudly worship 
								our Creator. Thanks be to God!  
								
								
								Thanksgiving Day is the perfect opportunity to 
								remind all of you how special you are to The 
								Harvesters and how much you mean to us.
								“Blest be the 
								ties that bind our hearts in Christian love.” 
								
								
								 Have a Blessed Thanksgiving, 
								
								
								 Danny, Allen, Mark, Tommy
