Thanksgiving Prayer

THANKSGIVING PRAYER I thank THEE Oh, LORD For All the treasures, THOU HAST So generously upon me Bestowed: My life My sight My Hearing My touch My scent My taste My arms My legs My brain and every other Organ, Treasures of worth untold That Money couldn’t ever buy Forgive my, LORD, My egoism My ingratitude My greediness My complaining My insatiability My forgetfulness, If only THY charity was I able To remember And The multitude of unfortunate ones That is not as blessed as I, Every second should I THEE, for life, Thanksgiving offer Rather Only once a year! © Demetrios Trifiatis 27 NOVEMBER 2013

when I think about it I think of how God gave us an opportunity to get together. not only this day but Christmas and all the ethnic holidays so that families can get together and include God in there celebration. who safely brings and returns.
