My Thanksgiving Prayer

Dear Lord,
For the bountiful harvest
and your sustenance this past year,
I give thanks.
Bless those this day
less fortunate than I.
I ask Lord, that on this day
each might have a good meal,
a warm bed, and a friend.
And through whatever kind act
I may provide, that they would know,
It's through your love
that these things happen.
Not because I'm a good person,
but your humble servant.
Amen
