A Thankful Heart

Just a quick wish to all for a happy Thanksgiving. Take time to celebrate and cherish relationships during this long weekend and make the effort to express gratitude to all those who have played important roles in your life. Today I offer a Thanksgiving grace which I wrote during the best of times and with the best of people. May you have a blessed holiday weekend with safe travel, wholesome feasting, and amazing time with those who will share your table. Let us also not forget that the original Thanksgiving was all about thanking God for His providence and blessing. Each of us, regardless of their situation, still has much to be thankful for so count those blessings and share them with others.

Thanksgiving Grace
For what we are about to receive
And all of the blessings You give
May we be thankful to Thee, Lord
This day, and each we live
Thank You for this meal, oh Lord
And for the loved ones who are near
Please watch over those we care about
Who could not join us here
As we recount our blessings
And the honor that You are due
We give thanks, oh Lord, this special day
And all our praise to You
