A Thanksgiving Prayer 2024

Dear God, on this Thanksgiving Day, I bow to you and humbly pray. Thank you, Lord, that my mind is clear and that I know the day is here. Thank you, Lord, for the gift of life Even though it’s tainted by strife. Thank you for freedom and for peace And for law enforcement police. Thank you for family and friends and for the joy their presence lends. Thank you that I can see and hear, their faces and their voices clear. Thanks for meats, pies, veggies, and stews but more than these for teeth to chew. Thanks for the system to digest the fusion foods my mouth ingests. Thank you for limbs and feet to walk For lungs to breathe and tongue to talk. Thank you for health and strength to strive, and for a working car to drive. Thank you, dear God, for a good job, So, to eat, I don’t have to rob. Thanks for the home in which I live and for the many gifts you give. Above all, thank you for your Son And for the victory He won. Upon the cross, He died for me But when He rose He snatched death’s key. Give me a grateful heart each day and help me in your love to stay. So, one day I can feast with Thee when this world is from sin set free.
