I didn't write this, it was sent to me by a good friend and it reminded me of all of my friends and family here....
When the Halloween pumpkins are gone
When the Halloween pumpkins are gone, and the leaves have all fallen to ground, when the air has turned windy and cold, then Thanksgiving will soon be around.
Thoughts of loved ones all feasting together, pleasant pictures from past times appear to dwell in each heart and each mind--then Thanksgiving is finally here!
The kitchen has scrumptious aromas, the dining room looks oh, so fine, decorations with pilgrims and turkeys, and now we are ready to dine!
First the napkins are placed on our laps; now the prayer for the meal to be blessed, then we stuff the good food in our tummies, and we hope for it all to digest!
As Thanksgiving Day rolls around, it brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor, feel like bums, insecure, but in truth, our riches astound.
We have friends and family we love; we have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much more than they sell in a store, we're wealthy, when push comes to shove.
So add up your blessings, I say; make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got; realize it's a lot, and you'll make all your cares go away.
Our table is set now; great food you can bet now.
Its Thanksgiving Day, and were ready to eat; all those near and dear us are here today to cheer us.
This dinner is a winner, a wonderful treat.
Its time to be thankful for all that God gives us; Dear Lord, we are grateful; Dear God, hear our prayer.
Its You we are praising; our voices we are raising; Bless us and bless this food; keep us safe in your care.
As meals go, Thanksgiving dinner is always a feast--a five star winner.
Here comes the salad, dressed just right, the golden brown turkey--a savory delight; the stuffing now, and then the gravy, the Jell-O mold, all wiggly and wavy.
Take some cranberry sauce and candied yams; is there room for fresh made rolls and jams?
More dishes tempt me; ah, but I must save some room for pumpkin pie!
On Thanksgiving Day were thankful for our blessings all year through, for family we dearly love, for good friends, old and new.
For sun to light and warm our days, for stars that glow at night, for trees of green and skies of blue, and puffy clouds of white.
Were grateful for our eyes that see the beauty all around, for arms to hug, and legs to walk, and ears to hear each sound.
The list of all were grateful for would fill a great big book; our thankful hearts find new delights everywhere we look!
Thanksgiving is the appointed time for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days, we can find small blessings, but too often we overlook them, choosing instead to spend our time paying attention to problems.
We give our energy to those who cause us trouble instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now, lets be on the lookout for the bits of pleasure in each hour, and appreciate the people who bring love and light to everyone who is blessed to know them.
You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving, Im thankful for you.
So let us all wish everyone Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving Day brings to mind the blessings in our lives that usually go unnoticed: a home that surrounds us with comfort and protection; delicious food, for pleasure in both eating and sharing; clothes to snuggle up in, books and good entertainment to expand our minds; and freedom to worship our God.
Most of all we are thankful for our family and friends, those treasured people who make our lives extra special.
You are part of that cherished group.
On Thanksgiving, (and every day) we appreciate you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
