Risking their lives so that we may be free – a Thanksgiving Prayer.
So that we may be free.
As we share this Thanksgiving Day with our family and friends our hearts are full of gratitude for the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard.
Many will not be sharing this day with their loved ones, because they are far away serving our country. They are risking their lives so that we can be safe at home.
May GOD bless and protect each and every one of these men and women who are fighting to make the world a better and safer place for our children and grandchildren.
May GOD bless and protect the United States of America.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Mrs. Figgins
Thank You to our readers for sharing the Thanksgiving Prayers below.
A Thanksgiving Day Prayer
Lord, so often times, as any other day
When we sit down to our meal and pray
We hurry along and make fast the blessing
Thanks, amen. Now please pass the dressing
We’re slaves to the olfactory overload
We must rush our prayer before the food gets cold
But Lord, I’d like to take a few minute more
To really give thanks to what I’m thankful for
For my family, my health, a nice soft bed
My friends, my freedom, a roof over my head
I’m thankful right now to be surrounded by those
Whose lives touch me more than they’ll ever possibly know
Thankful Lord, that You’ve blessed me beyond measure
Thankful that in my heart lives life’s greatest treasure
That You, dear Jesus, reside in that place
And I’m ever so grateful for Your unending grace
So please, heavenly Father, bless this food You’ve provided
And bless each and every person invited
Amen!
–Scott Wesemann
Thanksgiving
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
