A thanksgiving prayer
On this day we remember the gift of giving thanks,
On this day we remember a day when differences do not matter, when the eyes of the heart are used,
On this day we remember, we are all connected, we all have importance, and it is real,
On this day we remember and are humble by the vastness of what it represents
God’s grace toward us, and we have a 'holy moment’ as we say thank you! Amen
So, as each of you eat your turkey, varied dressings, green bean casserole, candied yams, rolls, mashed potatoes, carrots, and libation or tea, or whatever your meal consist of for the day, remember the spirit that surround this day is one we choose to have for today. The holiday mindset we personify during this time of year, to help, to give, to show kindness, to put aside differences, etc is a choice, we choose to have. A choice we can make each day, as we choose to forgive more, to live more honestly, and to not let man’s perceptions of God loves, mercy, grace, and forgiveness inhibit us. To let the our understanding of His unconditional love envelopes us, become an indwelling in us, and our constant companion with us. So, that the ignorant words of man does not stop us from answering God with our truth, with hearts, and with our spirits. Then we shall see, and breathe these verse with a newness and exuberance - Psalm 100:4-5 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise Give thanks to Him and praise His name For the L
ORD is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations. (HCSB). B
