“Come,
ye thankful people, come; Raise the song of harvest home. All is safely
gathered in - Ere the winter storms begin.” This well-loved Thanksgiving hymn
draws our thoughts to gratitude and preparedness. If we are thankful – we have
a harvest – we have gathered in every needful thing, and we are ready for
whatever storms of trials and adversity may come our way. Does your home
reflect an attitude of gratitude? As we embark on a month devoted to gratitude,
will the lord see our thankfulness with our food storage shelves and 72 hour
kits filled? Are we ready for the storms, be they temporal or spiritual? Paul
taught “If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own
house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” (1 Timothy 5:8) Let us show our gratitude, let us be thankful, let us provide for our
families with some to spare for the needy. Let us truly Raise the Song of
Harvest Home and have All Safely Gathered In. Let us Be Prepared!
