Father of the Ages,
Thank You for providing everything we need.
Thank You for grandparents, who prayed for us before we were born
Thank You for teaching us to love by loving us,
for all the love You give and we share.
Thank You for surrounding us with the miracle of Your creation,
For the heavens and the sparrows.
Thank You for laughter and others to laugh with,
For service and others to serve with.
Thank You for health, sight, hearing,
hands to work and hands to hold,
holidays and beauty, books and music,
children, food, rest, homes, and memories.
My my, we are so blessed.
Thank you for being here,
watching, caring, helping.
Glory to Your name!
Thank You for who You are.
Amen
And Lest We Forget Those Without
O God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry; When I have work, help me to remember the jobless; When I have a home, help me to remember those who have no home at all; When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer, And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency; bestir my compassion, and be concerned enough to help; By word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted. Amen.
- Samuel F. Pugh
Have A Blessed Thanksgiving,
Phil
