Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Delights

On Thanksgiving Day we’re thankful for
Our blessings all year through,

For family we dearly love,

(my parents and siblings)
(Mr. Shady's Mom)
For good friends, old and new.

For sun to light and warm our days,
For stars that glow at night,
For trees of green and skies of blue,
And puffy clouds of white.


We’re grateful for our eyes that see
The beauty all around,
For arms to hug, and legs to walk,
And ears to hear each sound.


The list of all we’re grateful for
Would fill a great big book;


Our thankful hearts find new delights
Everywhere we look!

And then again...

Thanksgiving Comes but Once a Year


Thanksgiving comes but once a year,
But when it comes it brings good cheer.


For in my storehouse on this day
Are piles of good things hid away.


Each day I've worked from early morn
To gather acorns, nuts, and corn,


Till now I've plenty and to spare
Without a worry or a care.

So light of heart the whole day long,
I'll sing a glad Thanksgiving song.

by Thornton Burgess

Happy Thanksgiving to YOU. May you be able to realize and enumerate the many blessings of this past year and those awaiting you as face each new day!

Let's celebrate this week and Thanksgiving day with family and/or friends. Perhaps you will be able to take a stroll outdoors to appreciate the diverse beauty. Perhaps you will have plenty to eat, enjoy the warmth and safety of a home and a good night's sleep. There is so much to celebrate. Much for which to be thankful. Praise God.
