THANKSGIVING--THE REAL DEAL
2003
What is the opposite of Thanksgiving?
Forgetting the real reason we're living,
Ignoring the gift of God's love and forgiving grace,
Totally unaware of families' valued place,
Letting love of self and pompous pride abound,
Overlooking the beauty of life around.
Thanksgiving is more than a calendar holiday,
It is each opportunity we have to say
With words of honor, witness, and generous praise-
Thank you for the good life, your merciful, faithful ways,
For showering us with blessings, eternal and pure,
For strength through salvation, our course straight and sure,
Thank you, O God, Thank you
