‘Come Ye Thankful People, Come’

I have to go to the nursing home this morning for my aunt’s care meeting, but let me first post this: Come Ye Thankful People, Come, sung by the congregation at St. George’s-Windsor, somewhere in England. If you think it’s odd to play a hymn usually reserved for the Thanksgiving holiday, please think again.

Remember how God works, more often than not, as echoed in the lyrics of this hymn: “First the blade and then the ear/ then the full corn shall appear” (after Mark 4:28).

We don’t see what God has planted until it springs up from the soil and bears fruit.
