| Eph. 5;20, Col. 3:17, Psalm 6j11 l07 IS
| Gods goodness hath been great to thee
| Don t. think more of having a fiat turkey
or going hunting on that day, but remembe

never a banquet, but bread and fish will
Jesus makes real banquet. No SUMPTION
teast would be able to do more than turn
our thoughts to the Giver of every good ant

ENJOY. Gratitude is the parent of many
virtues, and is among the things that ar,
eternal. Without forgetting Gods daily
benefits, each should say in his heart daily
Rather, L thank thee" Sincerely,
