A Thanksgiving Day Prayer We thank You, God: For all the blessings that abound For friends and family gathered ‘round For bounty more than would suffice, And thank You, God, for Jesus Christ We’re grateful for this loving home For richness of the garden grown From seeds beneath the winter ice, And thank You, God, for Jesus Christ On this Thanksgiving Day we pray That you will guide us in Your Way With footsteps steady and precise, And thank You, God, for Jesus Christ You’ve given us the Holy One The Gift Devine, Your only Son Who for our sins was sacrificed. We thank You, God, for Jesus Christ No matter what we give or do Our gifts fall short of those from You. None match the dearness of the price Of that Great Gift of Jesus Christ For all the blessings You’ve bestowed For dues He paid, that were not owed For death that wrought eternal life, We thank You, God, for Jesus Christ Amen Elizabeth Santos September 27, 2003 |

Elizabeth: This is a truly wonderful prayer, but them all your work is outstanding. I'm sorry I can't make it to Open but rarely, as I know most of your work is there and I enjoy it so much. Loved the picture too! Betty Lou Hebert |

Betty Lou, THank you for responding to this prayer, which I wrote today, and which was snatched up by both a Catholic priest and a Seventh Day Adventist pastor, both of whom want to print it in their Thanksgiving bulletin/ newsletter. You words are very kind. I also have not been visiting the open forums much lately. Thank you so much Liz |

I am not surprised this was snatched up by the churches Liz, it is simply a magnificant prayer. I am so glad you posted in the Spiritual Forum, and I know you have more gifts to be thankful for, like that wonderful family of yours - bet there is a poem hidden somewhere about family for us? This was delightful and m'friend, it was great talking to you tonight Carpe' Diem |
