OUR THANKSGIVING
 
As we sit around the table on this Thanksgiving Day
Lord, help us to be thankful
As we bow our heads to pray. 
Let us remember all the things for "us" You've done,
And most of all, remember the reason Jesus come.
As we think of all the past years,
The memories so dear.
Let us lift our hearts in knowing,
That You are always near.
 

 
As our minds go back to days of old,
Sharing stories we were told
Of that first Thanksgiving Day.
Spreading joy and peace to all as each has a say.
They shared the little that they had
And realized that things were not so bad.
Taught us a lesson to recall to give God thanks
No matter what our place or rank
For bounty came to men
Who took a stand and trusted Him.
 

 
Let us this year make it our plan
To thank God each and every day we can
For even when we feast this year,
It's Thanksgiving every day, my dear.
