Psalms 66:1-20. Verse 19, continuing in the spirit of Thanksgiving, what have been some answered prayers this year that I’m grateful for?

Malachi 3:1-10. Verse 5, God’s anger at immorality and injustice. Do my political beliefs and prosperous comfort sometimes blind me to evils the Lord abhors? Action point?
Luke 23:39-56. Jesus, about to die, saves the good thief.. Whom might I encounter one day soon that needs to hear the gospel from me, despite all appearances to the contrary?
