A Prayer Of Thanks
We give thanks to you, oh God,
for the gift of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We give thanks for the price He paid
so that we could have eternal life.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday with wonderful food. It is a time to celebrate that God has given us so much bounty that we can stuff ourselves with food. It is also a time to get together with family, eat delicious food, and in general feel good about ourselves. We loosen our belt buckles a notch, settle into the couch and enjoy a couple of football games. What could be more American than Thanksgiving. It is the American Holiday that is celebrated more than any other.
We give thanks to you, oh God,
for the gift of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We give thanks for the price He paid
so that we could have eternal life.
It's indeed a touching poem, it really reminds me and others of the greatness of our Lord in our daily lives, praise be unto God every moment we breathe the priceless breath.... Give that...

It's cold outside, but it's warm in my heart.
And the gray fall sky is His work of art.
Laden and low, quiet and still,
November is welcome, and my eyes drink their fill
Thank you! SO GLAD you enjoyed it! I think Thanksgiving is so underrated as a holiday, and I tried to put what it means to me into words...glad you appreciated it!!
I'm resting here quite regally,
The feature of the table.
Surrounded by potatoes that
I'd taste if I were able.
This poem is definitely original and unique. I just never would have thought of looking at Thanksgiving from the turkey's point of view. Very cute poem. I really enjoyed it!

No ghosts or goblins and trick-or-treats,
No candy or flowers for your sweets.
No gifts to buy or presents to give,
Just be THANKFUL for the life that you live.
I love this poem. We just all need to be more thankful, more than one day a year.

Apple pie is the
Best part of Thanksgiving.
Cooking food all
Day is fun with my family.
Love this poem about Thanksgiving by Brooke Applegate. She really is "spot on" with her description of what sounds like the perfect family Thanksgiving. She sounds like she is so involved...
I'm not thankful for anything
And never will I proclaim that:
"I am thankful for every moment."
Because really
I love the idea and the concept of this story. It shows that we should never be ungrateful. I especially like the idea of reading it from the bottom to the top. Very well-written.

Gettin’ together to smile an’ rejoice,
An’ eatin’ an’ laughin’ with folks of your choice;
An’ kissin’ the girls an’ declarin’ that they
Are growin’ more beautiful day after day;
I could list the gifts I'm thankful for and write until next week.
My health, my eyes, my darling wife, granddaughter's rosy cheeks.
Treasured friends, that If I called, would say, "I'm on my way."
Ever since I can remember,
on the fourth Thursday of November,
long before the crack of dawn,
We walk on starry fields of white
And do not see the daisies;
For blessings common in our sight
We rarely offer praises.
