I know You'll be at our table Lord, As You have always been before, While we quietly share the thanks, For family and friends and more. You will sit among the children, And bless them with Your grace, As they look in awesome wonder, At the sweetness of Your face. You will help to serve their food, And help them understand, That the dinner that's before them, Was placed there by Your hand. You'll explain to them why Grandpa, Is no longer here, You'll speak to them of heaven, And remove their lingering fear. When the dog comes begging, You'll share a scrap or two, And when it's time for clearing, You'll ask what You can do. The answer will be as always, Please keep us in Your care, Help us to walk in Your light, And remind us that You will be there. As bedtime comes for the wee ones, You'll carry them up in Your arms, Tuck them in and hear their prayers, And fill them with some of Your charms. And when it's time for You to go, When our table You must leave, We will thank You again for coming, And for each blessing we have received.

O, may we ALL borrow this for a lovely Thanksgiving prayer? I believe you've covered the table perfectly! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Dearest Bonnie; Magnificent poem of thanksgiving and praise that could only come from a heart that is truly thankful for all He has given you. You know the only perfect Guest to invite for the holiday, Our Lord and Savior! Love, Ellie le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne con-nait point....the heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of.. |

I came to this forum to look at what christians have to say about their God, so far I have seen love and hope in your words. This poem is beautiful in it composission. I like the fact that you see your God as a friend. MF 'In my eyes I see a blur of things that others see so clearly' |
