Thanksgiving!

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner!! I hope that you all have wonderful plans of eating good food, and enjoying good people.


*********

(by Lizelia Augusta Jenkins Moorer)


Let us give thanks to God above,


Thanks for expressions of His love,


Seen in the book of nature, grand


Taught by His love on every hand.



Let us be thankful in our hearts,


Thankful for all the truth imparts,


For the religion of our Lord,


All that is taught us in His word.



Let us be thankful for a land,


That will for such religion stand;


One that protects it by the law,


One that before it stands in awe.



Thankful for all things let us be,


Though there be woes and misery;


Lessons they bring us for our good-


Later 'twill all be understood.



Thankful for peace o'er land and sea,


Thankful for signs of liberty,


Thankful for homes, for life and health,


Pleasure and plenty, fame and wealth.



Thankful for friends and loved ones, too,


Thankful for all things, good and true,


Thankful for harvest in the fall,


Thankful to Him who gave it all.

i'm a little apprehensive at your sentence structure...

are you lumping eating good food and enjoying good people together, or are they completely and totally unrelated comments? i hope the latter since WOT and I were planning to ride the mammoth express down for a visit.

he!

Mammoth express? I still think the image of you pulling WOT in a cart is funny, it makes me laugh...


B laughing still! =)
