" What am I thankful for this year ? What blessings come to mind ? My dear friends and relations, so loving and so kind. Each time I see the sunrise, and the beauties of the day, the unexpected little joys, I find along the way What am I thankful for this year ? The small and furry things, the hope that keeps me going, the peace believing brings. I have so much to thank God for, I don't know where to start, I only know He walks with me, and lives within my heart ! " ~ Grace E. Easley ~ " Thank you, God for everything ... The big things and the small, for "every good gift comes from God," The Giver of them all. And all too often we accept without any thanks or praise, the gifts God sends as blessings each day in many ways. And so at this Thanksgiving time, we offer up a prayer, to thank You, God, for giving us a lot more than our share. First, thank You for the little things that often come our way, the things we take for granted, but don't mention when we pray. The unexpected courtesy, the thoughtful, kindly deed, a hand reached out to help us in the time of sudden need. Oh, make us more aware, dear God, of little daily graces that come to us with "sweet surprise" from never-dreamed-of places. Then, thank You for the "miracles" we are much too blind to see, and give us new awareness of our many gifts from Thee. And help us to remember that the key to life and living, is to make each prayer a prayer of thanks and every day Thanksgiving." ~ Helen Steiner Rice ~     [ Site Index ] [ Home ] | Back to the Thanksgiving Menu | This page was created on: September 14th 2003. ~ Graphics by Mary's Little Lamb ~
