THANKSGIVING PRAYER
Author unknown
Lord, We humbly ask
Thy blessing on the turkey and the dressing,
on the yams and cranberry jelly,
and the pickles from the deli.
Bless the apple pie and tea,
bless each and every calorie.
Let us enjoy Thanksgiving dinner.
Tomorrow we can all get thinner.
For all Thy help along the way
we're thankful this Thanksgiving Day.
We're thankful too,
for all our dear ones,
for all the far away and near ones.
Although we may be far apart,
we're together in my heart.
Keep us in Thy loving care,
This is my Thanksgiving prayer.
P.S. Anyone who wishes may help with the dishes.
I am certain that we created memories this Thanksgiving for part of our family. However much more time the Almighty grants us I hope we always will have a place which will conjure up those good feelings in our grandchildren long after we are gone.
Thank you, Dear Lord, for making this Thanksgiving Day possible.
Good Morning !
I hope you are enjoying this Thanksgiving Day . We have plans to watch the Christmas Parade along with a good big homemade breakfast this morning. DDIL#4 is making French Toast. It’s been a tradition to see the parade on the TV and welcome Santa once more.
My children always hated to give up their belief in Santa and I always told them that as long as they kept the Spirit of Christmas in their hearts there would always be a Santa. I’m 62 and I still believe!
Most of my Thanksgiving Days have been quiet ones as I usually do the Holiday the Saturday before so that all the babes can visit their in laws on the day and not have to worry about sharing the time …it gets hard to make all the rounds. But this Thanksgiving due to my Sunshine Babes visit it won’t be a quiet one –that’s for sure. The only time they get quiest is when they are sleeping.
Our family feast day will be on this Saturday and then my little home will be bursting at it’s seams.
Today I’m thankful for all the many blessings I have received and am praying especially today for all of you today !
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The joy of enjoying
And the fullness of living
Are found in the heart
That is filled with thanksgiving.

Oh I still believe in Santa as well. It is the magic of Christmas. Sounds like a very busy day day -- make that week -- at your house. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and thank you for your daily reminders about giving thanks for the little things each and every day.
