The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 119:7, “I shall give thanks to Thee with uprightness of heart,

When I learn Thy righteous judgments.”

Thanksgiving Day is but a reminder that everyday should be a

day of Thanksgiving. A long-time friend lies today on a hospital

bed with only the assurance that his final rest will be in the LORD.

Uprightness of heart is the necessary ingredient to giving genuine

thanks to the LORD. It’s what the Psalmist meant when he said,

“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear me” (66:18).

Were you ever angry at someone and tried to say, “I’m sorry”?

There wasn’t much excitement about saying those words, was

there? The meaning –true meaning—was lacking. So it is with

our giving thanks to the LORD. Be right in your heart, then give

thanks! There’s SO MUCH for which we have to be Thankful!!!

Love and Prayers –true prayers,

Nana & Dado III
