Tongues of Thanksgiving

Psalms 92:1-3
Psa 92:1 KJV - [[A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day.]] [It is a] good [thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
Psa 92:2 KJV - To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
Psa 92:3 KJV - Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

Blankets or no blankets
I am sure you have heard some variation or another of the story of the woman who couldn't keep quiet in church. It seems that a very staid and orthodox Presbyterian minister had in his congregation in old Scotland a poor old woman who was in the habit of saying, "Praise the Lord!" or "Amen!" whenever the minister said something that really struck her.
This greatly annoyed the minister. So one New Year's Day he went to see her. "Betty," he said, "I'll make a bargain with you. You call out 'Praise the Lord' just when I get to the high-point of my sermon, and I lose my whole train of thought. Now if you will stop doing it all this year, I'll give you a pair of wool blankets." Betty was poor, and the offer of the blankets looked very good.
So, she did her best to earn them. Sunday after Sunday she kept quiet.
But one day the minister preached on heaven and all the benefits of life with Christ. As he preached, the vision of the blankets began to fade and fade, and the joys of salvation grew brighter and brighter. At last Betty could stand it no longer, and jumping up she cried, "Blankets or no blankets, Praise the Lord!!!"
