Thanksgiving Weekend

This is the Thanksgiving weekend in Canada which has historically been a time to give thanks for the harvest.   With the nice weather the reports from the Saskatchewan harvest are looking better than they were earlier.   The latest report for the period Sept 28 to Oct 4 is that 60% is complete, which is more than double the previous week's report of 29%.    The normal for this period is 85% so more good weather is needed.

We are heading up north to Elaine's family's farm for the weekend.   I hope we can get away in good time today. Janice has some work to complete at the university before we can leave.

Let's remember to be thankful at all times and especially be reminded of God's faithfulness at this Thanksgiving weekend  The hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness expresses our thanksgiving for God's goodness.  

1. "Great is Thy faithfulness," O God my Father,
   There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
   Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
   As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
• "Great is Thy faithfulness!" "Great is Thy faithfulness!"
    Morning by morning new mercies I see;
  All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
      "Great is Thy faithfulness," Lord, unto me!
2. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
   Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
   Join with all nature in manifold witness
   To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
   Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
   Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
   Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Have a great weekend everyone.  I will try to post some pictures after our trip.
