Thanksgiving

It is Thanksgiving Day my Lord, here in America
It's the day allotted for families to get together
And to thank You, God Almighty
for all the providence and protection
You have given them over the year.

Even though a day is set apart to celebrate for this purpose
Each day I consider to be a Thanksgiving Day
For each day we've got so many things to be thankful
The sun to rise and the moon to shine
The water to drink and the food that we eat
The ability to walk, work and do whatever we want
The love of the family and the provision of medical care
The freedom to speak, pray and worship
All these things and many more
We need to be thankful every day

Nothing we can take it for granted
for we do not know, when and where
these can be taken away from us
We see people from far and wide
lacking food, shelter and family
And freedom to speak and worship

Those of us who are blessed to have
are called to bless those who have nots
And lend a hand to help and support
So, let us be thankful for everything we have
And live a life of gratitude,not only on a
day like this Thanksgiving Day
but every day we have on this earth
for You are worthy to be worshipped
and be thanked each and every day .
