A very good thought for today, and everyday.
From the Grand Lodge of Mississippi.
"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name." - Psalm 100:4
Brethren,
Thanksgiving marks the beginning of that wonderful season leading up to the celebration of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, that season better known as Christmas.
Thanksgiving Day is an annual day where we give thanks to God for the blessings we have enjoyed the past year, as Masons we should thank Him daily. A day of food and festivities with family and friends. Time to relive old memories and make new ones. A day of reflection.
Let us not forget we are blessed to live in a country where we have freedoms and rights unlike any other country. Like the right to assemble, which allows us to meet, unhindered, in our lodges for friendship, fellowship, knowledge and to respect God.
Please pause during the day to remember those responsible for defending and protecting those freedoms, past and present, whether they are military, law enforcement, fire fighter or first responder.
As Grand Master I wish each Master Mason, Fellowcraft and Entered Apprentice and their families within Mississippi a safe, joyous and Happy Thanksgiving,
Jason Jefcoat
Grand Master
