Thanksgiving Poem

Whelp, Thanksgiving is over, did you have fun? I definitely did! My parent’s food was fantastic and we had some friends over for much laughs and lots of joy overall. We even had fun playing four-player Buzz (PS2). Makes a perfect party game!

And while the Thanksgiving holiday may be done with, that doesn’t mean that the spirit of Thanksgiving has to end. To the contrary, Thanksgiving is something we as Christians should be doing continuously (pray without ceasing as the Bible says), both to our Lord as well as just being thankful in general for what we have.

Here is a nice poem I thought I’d share. Thanks to Stryper’s myspace for posting this:

GIVING THANKS

Thanksgiving comes but once a year
A day filled with peace and love
We spend time with those who are dear
And to thank our Lord above

For all the blessings He bestows
Sometimes we forget to pray
But on this special day he knows
For Him we reserve this day

We thank him for our families
For the food that’s on our plates
For all the opportunities
To grow in the United States

We thank him for the work we do
And nice friends to spend time with
We thank him for our houses, too
Not everyone is blessed with this

Thanksgiving comes but once a year
Not everyone gets their share
For those who aren’t as lucky as us
Remember them in your prayers

–Patty Apostolides
