He told them to give thanks . . . and they listened.
The day was the Monday before our Thanksgiving break at school. The Upper School principal planned to deliver the chapel sermon. The kids had heard him speak many times during the school year, but usually to correct them about some naughty behavior, not share a sermon.
He pointed us to a familiar psalm, where David thanked the Lord and instructed others to do the same, and then gave us three directives: have an attitude of gratitude, be faithful to be happy, and be thankful always. He finished with a unique twist.
