And to him who orders his way aright
I shall show the salvation of God."
--Psalm 50:23
* * *
Let all things now living
A song of thanksgiving
To God the creator
Triumphantly raise.
Who fashioned and made us,
Protected and stayed us,
Who still guides us on
To the end of our days.
God's banners are o'er us,
His light goes before us,
A pillar of fire
Shining forth in the night.
Till shadows have vanished
And darkness is banished
As forward we travel
From light into light.
His law he enforces,
The stars in their courses
And sun in its orbit
Obediently shine;
The hills and the mountains,
The rivers and fountains,
The deeps of the ocean
Proclaim him divine.
We too should be voicing
Our love and rejoicing;
With glad adoration
A Song let us raise
Till all things now living
Unite in thanksgiving:
"To God in the highest,
Hosanna and praise!"
--Katherine K. Davis

Comments
The corn in the picture is very old. We actually brought it with us when we moved from Illinois 8-1/2 years ago, and we probably had it several years before then.
Do people actually eat it? Well, I've heard that this is how the Native Americans invented popcorn. I'm not sure I want to test that with this corn, but.....
We'll be having green and yellow beans for Thanksgiving, and white and orange potatoes, too!
