Greetings everyone. Please know that I offer the following respectfully and only with good intentions.
Wife and I are invited to 2 Thanksgiving dinners which we will attend. I've been asked to offer grace at both dinners. I composed and offer you the following prayer.
Dear Lord,
On this holiday, you may be looking at who you created and ask, do we still believe in you? Do we still have faith in you?
Lord……imperfect as I am…..this tired soul is asking you, please hear me.
Don't give up on us and allow me to tell you why we are grateful.
For Jesus' messages of kindness, forgiveness and loving…..those messages that fill the hearts and strengthen the will of those who worship you……..We are grateful.
For the early dawn's peace that gladdens and comforts us….we must never take a single one for granted…bestowed upon us by our veterans and those across the world who made the ultimate sacrifice……..We are grateful.
For the security and safety provided by those in uniform who proudly stand guard….in our neighborhood and around the world…….We are grateful.
For our children and their children….that You have opened the door to their brighter future……We are grateful.
We in America, Israel and our Allies…..for the opportunities and prosperity coming………that You answered our prayers and hope has returned………We are grateful.
For the loving friendships You've graciously presented us….the sharing of Your gift around this table………We are grateful.
On this blessed day of joyous appreciation, we are deeply, deeply THANKFUL…..that America may once again be one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
AMEN.
