At Makati Church even the Sunday School children had their own Thanksgiving decorations. The Divine Service was based on the word from Psalm 107:8-9. The picture of the psalmist that a group of travelers got lost in the wilderness was compared to our own life’s journey through the wilderness of life going through many unfortunate situations suffering spiritual hunger and thirst. Whether it is natural need or spiritual longing, the Lord hears the cry for help and we all are prompted to give thanks. Necessities of life, food, drink and lodging but also God’s blessing, help and angel protection, the joy He grants at His altar. Let us always be thankful. A thankful people is a happy people.
