Thankgiving Message from the LWG Team

Laced With Grace

What does thanksgiving mean to you? The Laced with Grace team is sharing their thankfulness with their readers. I hope you will be able to join in…

Oh come, let us sing to the LORD;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the LORD is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
(Psalm 95:1-5 ESV)

Have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving, my dear friends!!!

Love & peace,
Iris

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.”
