God is indeed good, and here we have crowning mercies calling for crowning gratitude. Your thanksgiving is most fitting, for to see youth kept and brought safely home again is to see the Lord's hand in preserving care.
We are all safe while we are in God's hands, but we are none of us safe in our own keeping, and every journey has its peculiar perils. When you realize your danger and fly to the Lord to guard you, then you are safe. He has heard the groaning and the little supplications that make up the life of man, and has answered at the right time, punctually at the very tick of the clock of wisdom.
O come, let us worship and bow down, let us exalt the Lord our God and come into His presence with the voice of joy and thanksgiving. We can give this crowning thanksgiving for this crowning mercy by the inward emotions of gratitude, and gratitude will compel us to say, I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications.
Go home to your chamber, fall on your knees, and with tears of gratitude say, O thou my soul, bless God the Lord, and all that in me is be stirred up His holy name to magnify and bless. And prove that gratitude by tangible deeds, as those who have been served by the Lord desire to serve Him in return. May the Lord keep those youth in all their ways, and bless all who have prayed and who continue in prayer, and may your household be stirred to abounding prayer and abounding blessing. In Jesus' name, amen.
