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 ~

Nance~

Among my blessings ...
I place your name
for without your loving presence
I would not be the same

You gift me care
from a heart so sweet
Now if you could just be here
THIS TURKEY TO EAT !!!

Love you and am keeping this one !!

Thank you, dear lady~

Hi, thanks for your kind words. I wanted to tell you this is a lovely thought for anything to be thankful for. This was the last day my Mom was able to function somewhat well.I suppose this will become a more special day for me from here on.
Hugs

Thank you

That was tastefully done. I am sure god is smiling down from the heavens; when he heard this poem. Kudos!!!!
