Thanksgiving Prayer


Dear God, as round the table we
Are gathered by Thy grace..
We pause to thank Thee for this food
And for each smiling face.

How wonderful that we can share
These moments once again
With those we love but seldom see ~
How long the time has been.

We thank You for Thanksgiving Day,
This special time of year…
When we can meet with pleasure all
The ones we hold so dear.

Bless those of us now far away
Please let their spirits be
Here with us round this table, Lord
One happy family.

And as we take our places here
And fill our plates with food,
Lord, may our hearts and minds be filled
With special gratitude.

Amen.


~Wishing all my American family and friends a blessed holiday season ~

Whatever topic comes to your mind, you phrase so well.  You and your writing are such we all may give thanks for.  Hugs KJ

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
