Thanksgiving Challenge

Within the autumnal period there exists a special day.
As in the past it was spent doing special things;
Reflecting on past moments and looking forward 
To future moments with friends and family.
Today, Thanksgiving remains true to form.
We still give thanks and look forward to tomorrow.
However, I challenge you this year to understand.
Take a plate of food to a homeless man or woman,
Or, perhaps, invite him or her in for kindness and a meal.
The thanks that you receive would be immeasurable. 
Thanksgiving isn’t reserved for those who have turkey,
it is reserved for those who share turkey, or their time.
It is important that when giving thanks, you must give.
How better to give, than to give to someone in need?
It’s easy to allow family and friends through your door,
but more so appreciated to hold the door open for others.
Maybe, if time permits, feed others in a soup kitchen;
donate time instead of food, yourself instead of a check.
When you sit down at your table, remember those you helped;
they will be thanking you and you will then be able to thank them.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Give Thanks!

THANKSGIVING IS A GREAT HOLIDAY 

A TIME TO EAT AND A TIME TO PRAY 

MOM WILL GO ON A SHOPPING SPREE 

TO GET THE BEST TURKEY THAT CAN BE 

THEY WILL STUFF THE BIRD, BAKE THE PIE 

PLUS ALL THE GOODIES THAT MONEY COULD BUY 

WE GIVE THANKS TO JESUS FOR OUR FOOD 

FAMILY AND FRIENDS GATHER AS ONE 

OUR THANKS AND BLESSINGS ARE NEVER DONE 

WE GO TO CHURCH AND SING ALONG 

WITH LOVELY CHOIR'S VOICE SO STRONG 

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WITH US IN OUR PRAYERS 

HE GIVES US COURAGE AND TAKES AWAY OUR FEARS 

SO NOW EVERYONE LET US ALL SAY... 

THANK YOU MY LORD FOR EVERY DAY.
