Each year at this time, its good to give thought to how blessed we are to live in this great country, to have the benefit of history, of freedom, and liberty from tyranny.  Thankful for all those that protect these freedoms and the institutions that assure we are a culture of laws and security.  Thankful for all the science, technology advancements that make our lives easier.  Thankful for education and experience and the benefits derived from those that came before us that we so often take for granted.  Thankful for the nourishment and blessings of bountiful resources.  And most of all thankful for all our friends and family that make our lives full and blessed.

Thanksgiving Prayer

Family, friends, food and football

Thanks is to be given for these all

Tremendous is the table spread,

But better yet this breaking of bread,

Cause most of all the Love we share

Is a perfect compliment to this fare

Our Lord’s blessings are great

Celebrate, lest we give thanks to late

In this moment let us our heads bow

And pray to our Lord hear and now

Thank you Lord for all here today,

And thank you for each blessed and precious day

And thank you for all those not here

For in our hearts we still hold them dear

Amen
