A Thanksgiving Wish

Thanksgiving
(Lizelia Augusta Jenkins Moorer)

Let us give thanks to God above,
Thanks for expressions of His love,
Seen 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 religion 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.

From my family to yours-- May you all have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

As you gather round with those you love, remember to give thanks to the Creator above. For blessings large and small; for the protection and freedoms He still grants to us all. For His soon return where we will spend eternity enjoying a grand fellowship around His table; the table He's so lovingly prepared for you and for me.

Until that day-- God bless you, each and every one!
