This week America will celebrate Thanksgiving. They will have a feast with turkey, mashed potatoes,  stuffing, and pumpkin pie. This is a holiday that remembers the original people that had set out from Plymouth. The harsh winter climate and the long journey caused the death of many of the Pilgrims and Puritans. The Wampanoags helped them to live through the harsh winter. When the harvest came in, they had a meal together to thank the Lord for His providence in keeping them alive and well. It is quite fitting to take time each day to thank God for His providence and protection. We should include this as a daily prayer.
The Bible is filled with commands for us to give thanks to God. For us, who have accepted the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross, we should be a people which are extremely thankful! We are forgiven and can stand before God as acceptable in His sight. 
We teach our children from a young age to say ‘thank you’ as it’s very important to learn proper manners. 
The verses give us the reasons why we should thank Him, such as “His love endures forever”, “He is good”, and “His mercy is everlasting”. Thanksgiving and praise always go together. We cannot properly  praise and worship God without also being thankful.
David the King of Israel is described as a man after God’s own heart. He wrote many of the Psalms and knew how to worship God. He knew the importance of thanksgiving.
A Psalm for Thanksgiving. (this Psalm is an invitation for the entire earth to praise the Lord)
100:4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. 5  For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations.
