Thanksgiving
****
Let us give thanks for God Above.
Thanks for expressions of His love.
See in the book of nature, grand
Taught by His love on every hand.
****
Let us be thankful in our hearts,
Thankful for all the truth imparts,
For the religion of our Lord,
All that is taught us in His word.
****
Let us be thankful for a land,
That will for such religions stand;
One that protects it by the law,
One that before it stands in awe.
****
Thankful for all things let us be,
Though there be woes and misery;
Lessons they bring us for our good-
Later 'twill all be understood.
****
Thankful for peace o'er land and sea,
Thankful for signs of liberty,
Thankful for homes, for life and health,
Pleasure and plenty, fame and wealth.
****
Thankful for friends and loved ones, too,
Thankful for all things, good and true,
Thankful for harvest in the fall,
Thankful to Him who gave it all.

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope it was full of love, laughter and lots of yummy food!
If that was my table I would so need Prozac. No I think we did have real napkins but the rest is really find a bowl and put the food in it. It is not going to remain there long....
That was a beautiful poem, but if that is truly your table, I am going to be ill!! We were all paper plates this year - tacky!!
