The Food of Thanksgiving
My poem for this Thanksgiving is one of humble love for
our blessings from our Lord.
They are too many to count, they all came from our Savior
where they are stored.

We are prepared for this Thanksgiving Day,
there will be many "I love you"s exchanged this year.
Families, friends hugging each other and
sharing what the Lord has given that is so dear.

We come together before the Lord
and we lay down our prayers this Thanksgiving week.
All of us want to be sure we have all we need
through our petitions we speak.

Also, friends, let us not forget that we can and should
help our less fortunate sisters and brothers.
When we help them we share our love -
the real food of Thanksgiving is helping others!
