Happy Thanksgiving! This prayer was in the paper today and I thought it was so appropriate and wonderful, that if you did not get a chance to see it, here it is:

We come to this table today, O Lord, humble and thankful and glad.

We thank Thee first for the great miracle of life, for the exaltation of being human,for the capacity to love.

We thank Thee for joys both great and simple-

For wonder, dreams, and hope;

For the newness of each day;

For laughter and song and a merry heart;

For compassion waiting within to be kindled;

For the forbearance of friends and the smile of a stranger:

For the arching of the earth and trees and heavens fruits of all three;

For the wisdom of the old;

For the courage of the young;

For the promise of the child;

For the strength that comes when needed;

For this family united here today.

Of those to whom much is given, much is required.

May we and our children remember this.

Amen.



Please be sure today to Thank God for all of your blessings! I am thankful for every one of my friends and family. I am thankful for my health, despite the cancer. Please lift a pray up for those that are less fortunate than us and for those that cannot or are not with us today. ( I give this day up for my Aunt Dot who I loved dearly and for Jim Thomas and his family)

Blessings and Peace!
