Notes About The Poem

"THEREFORE TAKE NO THOUGHT SAYING , WHAT SHALL WE EAT OR DRINK  OR WHEREWITH SHALL WE BE CLOTHED, FOR YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWETH THAT YE HAVE NEED OF ALL THESE THINGS. BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD , AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU."                 Matthew 6:31-33

 

It's Thanksgiving Day here in Canada.   Happy Thanksgiving Everybody.

My Thanksgiving Prayer

I have so much to thank You for,
You've been so good to me.
You've given me sun, and wind, and rain,
And shelter 'neath the trees.

You've shown me the beauty of the moon's silver glow,
Against the black velvet sky;
And the quiet beauty of the winter's snow,
And the music of the wind's soft sigh.

You've been my friend in time of need,
You've comforted every tear,
Chastised me for my selfish greed,
And quieted every fear.

You've given me to eat and drink,
And clothes for me to wear.
You've given me a place to live,
Without a doubt, You care.

I have so much to thank You for,
So where can I begin?
Your love has reached my very core,
Your giving has no end.

Gershon Wolf October 11, 2021 at 5:11 PM Beautiful poem and message, Judy... And I wonder why I had no idea, after 39 years on this planet, that Canada even has a Thanksgiving Day, let alone that it's in October. ~ Blinders On Gershon Wolf October 12, 2021 at 1:34 PM I sure hadn't thought of it. Show you how blind I am, even with corrective lenses. This will probably be off base, but is that why there's a place named 'Newfoundland?' ... At any rate, thank you much for the education, Judy. Judy Ball October 12, 2021 at 5:31 AM Thank you so much Gershon. The reason we have Thanksgiving sooner than America is because the pilgrims actually landed here first. God Bless, JB
