class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">In the Tri-Unity of the Holy Spirit Father and Son</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So we accept this day even though it was chosen by man</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">To celebrate Messiah’s birth and the victory that He won</b></div><div

THANKSGIVING<p> <b>THANKSGIVING</b></p><b><br /></b>We’ll be spending our Thanksgiving<br />By driving over to Grandma’s house<br />Not a soul will go hungry<br />Not even a little mouse<br /><br />She started preparing<br />On the night before<br />If there was anything missing<br />She sent Grandpa to the store<br /><br />Everything must be perfect<br />On this day you see<br />For it isn’t very often<br />That we gather as a family<br /><br />After a long trip we arrive there<br />The first thing we do is turn on the TV<br />To watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade<br />There are marching bands and floats to see<br /><br />Before we begin eating<br />We hold hands and pray<br />Thank you Lord for the blessings<br />That you have given us this day<br /><br />And we also pray for a special blessing for<br />The men and women who protect our liberty<br />Please God keep them safe from harm<br />They understand that freedom isn’t free<br /><br />Then Grandpa says let’s eat I’m starving<br />The first thing on the menu is soup in a cup<br />In the background we listen to Holiday music<br />This always helps us to keep our spirits up<br /><br />Uncle Charlie carves the turkey and<br />Asks if we want dark meat or white<br />And even with this many people<br />There will be plenty to take home tonight<br /><br />Pass the gravy and the rolls please<br />The peas and sweet potatoes too<br />The cornbread stuffing is delicious<br />And may I have some apple cidar too<br /><br />When we finish the main course<br />The women will help to put things away<br />While the men go and watch a football game<br />Actually there are several to watch on TV today<br /><br />Once everything else has been cleaned up<br />Grandma serves coffee and pumpkin pie<br />All of a sudden it feels like we’re stuffed<br />For some strange reason we wonder why<br /><br />Before we head back to our homes<br />There are still two things to be done<br />First we help set up the Christmas Tree<br />Then we join hands and thank the Holy One<br /><br />Thank you Lord for the blessings of this special day<br />We ask for traveling mercies and Your Grace again<br />May all of our hearts be filled with Your goodness<br />And to this prayer all of Your children say AMENJoel
