THANKSGIVING

We’ll be spending our Thanksgiving

By driving over to Grandma’s house

Not a soul will go hungry

Not even a little mouse

She started preparing

On the night before

If there was anything missing

She sent Grandpa to the store

Everything must be perfect

On this day you see

For it isn’t very often

That we gather as a family

After a long trip we arrive there

The first thing we do is turn on the TV

To watch the Thanksgiving Day parade

There are marching bands and floats to see

Before we begin eating

We hold hands and pray

Thank you Lord for the blessings

That you have given us this day

And we also pray a special blessing for

The men and women who protect our liberty

Please God keep them safe from harm

They understand that freedom isn’t free

Then Grandpa says, “Let’s eat I’m starving.”

The first thing on the menu is soup in a cup

In the background we listen to Holiday music

This always helps us to keeps our spirits up

Uncle Charlie carves the turkey and

Asks if we want dark meat or white

And even with this many people

There will be plenty to take home tonight

Pass the gravy and the rolls please

The peas and sweet potatoes too

The cornbread stuffing is delicious

And may I have some apple cider too

When we finish with the main course

The women will help to put things away

While the men go and watch a football game

Actually there are several of them on TV today

Once everything else has been cleaned up

Grandma serves coffee and pumpkin pie

All of a sudden it feels like we’re stuffed

For same strange reason we wonder why

Before we head back to our homes

There are still two things to be done

First we help to set up the Christmas tree

Then we join hands and thank the Holy One

Thank you Lord for the blessings of this special day

We ask for traveling mercies and Your Grace again

May all of our hearts be filled with Your Goodness

And to this prayer all of Your Children say, “AMEN.”

THE TRUE DEFINITION OF THANKSGIVING

 THE TRUE DEFINITION OF THANKSGIVING

Give thanks to the Lord God our creator

Whose power is Omnipotent and Grand

Yet so many people do not accept Him

Because of things they don’t understand

It’s quite a very simple concept which

Even some men of science can agree

Although they say theoretically that

They have proven that this cannot be

I am far from being a biblical scholar but

I do believe what the bible says and means

Because I have blind faith in God’s Divinity

Those theories aren’t worth a hill of beans

I wasn’t there to see the things that happened

But I believe what was written and will testify

That God gave it to His prophets to write down

We know that God can’t doesn’t and won’t lie

Those that finally do accept God’s written word

Come to faith when they feel that all else is lost

They can see that God is always there to turn to

Yet still don’t understand the price that it cost

Father God gave to the world His only begotten Son

Whose blood atonement frees us from all worldly sin

But only if you will profess Him as Lord and Messiah

At that moment your circumstances become a win/ win

At this point your life starts a new beginning and no end

For when you pass away God has granted you eternal life

To enter His kingdom with all of your heavenly treasures

Abiding with the Lord freed from sickness pain and strife

You must also understand that this gift does not come free

Daily you must ask forgiveness for sins that you may not see

Becoming a vessel for the Lord and spreading God’s Word

Is not only a blessing but a vital part of your responsibility
