Music Mondays: Songs that Teach us Stuff

The Thanksgiving holiday seems to get overlooked more and more in our society. Once Halloween is over, stores quickly set up their Christmas decorations so customers will be encouraged to buy more stuff.

Other than turkey's, ham's, and other meal-related accessories, Thanksgiving doesn't offer much to cash-in on for commercial businesses. 

That's too bad. For the Church, Thanksgiving should be celebrated elaborately and enthusiastically. It has been and continues to be. 

For this week's edition of Music Monday, I was skimming through a hymnal and noticed many of the popular Christmas songs and thought I might want to feature some Thanksgiving songs in light of this upcoming holiday. In the Index, there was a category of "Thanksgiving" hymns and I'll be selecting some songs from that list in upcoming weeks. 

This week, I'm picking a familiar song that isn't related to our November holiday, but is meaningful as we enjoy the fall season's colors and beauty.

It is also meaningful when we consider a text like Psalm 19:1-6 which similarly extols the wonders of God's creation and how they reveal God's glory and goodness.
