Thanksgiving is a special time. More than just an opportunity to bake and stuff a turkey, it ‘s a time when we gather with family and friends and celebrate the gratitude we ought to feel for our many blessings. From the Native Peoples of yesteryear to today, peoples around the world, at various times offer thanks. The specific customs vary of course, but the commonalities remind us of what we all have to be thankful. We decorate our homes. We prepare elaborate feasts. We invite loved ones. And finally we pray. We thank God for our homes, our food, and our loved ones and for Himself. It’s easy to forget how we have to thank God for. This Thanksgiving I’m thanking God for the gift of all of you. It has been a genuine pleasure getting to know you and being your teacher.
God bless you and your family at Thanksgiving and always!
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump !
What are you thankful for ? Give at least 5
What are you thankful for ? Give at least 5
~Things I am Thankful For~
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for the roof, that lies above my head.
A home that gives me shelter, and my warm and cozy bed.
All the bountiful food which I have, to know that I won't hunger.
My parents have taught me to be polite, ever since I was younger.
Special people in my life; my family and my friends.
To realize that their love for me will never ever end.
For all the blessings and my talents; to know that you're always near.
That when I'm in doubt or I need help I'll pray and you'll always hear.
And last but not least my flaws, without them who would I be?
What makes you different makes you beautiful; my imperfections make me... me.

A roof over my head is something I really appreciate,
ReplyDeleteTo have my own warm bed is extremely great.
My family’s care for me burns like a roaring fire,
And God’s love for me shall never ever expire.
Do not forget Canada, the amazing place where we live,
The food I eat is provided by my parents who just give and give and give.
My friends are everything I could ever ask for,
My health is all I need, not a penny more.
These are the things I am grateful for!

Thanksgiving poem
ReplyDeleteI thank God for my friends and family,
because without them I definitely could not be me.
I thank God for my possessions I have obtained,
because it shows people that I have gained.
I thank God indoor plumbing every time I go to the washroom,
because if I did not have that I probably would have faced doom.
I thank God for endless possibilities in my life,
because I do anything in the world with a wife.
Finally I thank God I am not a ghost,
because then I would not be here making this post.

Blessings
ReplyDeleteI count my many blessings everyday,
The privilege of a bed, at night so warm I lay.
God’s hand protects me from the rain, the snow, the hail,
He’s the one and only for us will never fail.
I am grateful for the buzzing bees, the changing leaves, the hugs from the sun,
The blooming flowers that show their beauty to everyone.
For the crystal water that we dearly need,
That nurtures a single tiny seed.
For when my tummy noisily grumbles and moans,
I am able to nibble on cookies and blueberry scones.
For the berries and plums that I gnaw on for a snack,
I thank the Lord daily that food isn’t something I lack.
When I am having troubles or feeling down,
I always have my loved ones that will turn it around.
All these wonderful things, I have the pleasure to share,
With my loving, lively, loyal family and friends everywhere!
