Thanksgiving Tradition And Family - 2012

Thanksgiving Tradition And Family

At the dinner table, all circled round;
Our Grandma and Grandpa, Momma and Dad.
All of us children so ready to eat;
A Thanksgiving feast, like we've never had.

Grandpa gives thanks for all the years gone by;
For all his children and the pumpkin  pie.
For Grandma's love and all her faithful care;
Then  tears fall from  my grandmas eyes.

Grandma chimes in with her words very wise;
With thanks to the Lord for all He provides.
Mamma leans over to give her a hug;
And the love echoes  -  from every side.

Then daddy prays  a Thanksgiving prayer;
With warmth and love from the depths of His soul.
For the food, and all of God's many blessings;
Then the food comes  around, " please pass the rolls."

Green beans, potatoes and corn on the cob;
Turkey with stuffing and giblet gravy.
Washing the dishes and watching football;
Thanksgiving tradition and family.

Thanksgiving day is a very good day;
A  day of praise , a day of  memories.
A day to cherish most faithfully;
Because we are blessed, because we  are free.

The  main  reason is because  God is good;
And that He watches over us with heed.
Just as He watches over each sparrow;
And gives life to a newly planted seed.

Thank-You Daddy God - 2012

Thank-You Daddy God

When I think of what I could of been without you.
When I think of your forgiveness and grace.
I can't help but cry aloud with thanksgiving;
 With much  joy and a tear upon my face.

You have lifted me from the mire of disgrace;
You have washed all my sinfulness away.
You have clothed me in your righteousness;
And intently hear me when I pray.

I'm like a child holding my arms up for your care;
Daddy God, Thank-you for your tenderness.
I'm like a child twirling in your sunshine;
Daddy God, Thank-you for your forgiveness.

May my lips be filled with much  thanksgiving praise;
Not just on this coming thanksgiving day.
but each new glad morning and each night of rest;
May my words swell with thanks as I pray.

Thank-you Daddy God, Most heavenly Father;
For your goodness, your provision, your love.
For your strength, For your direction, your peace;
And the many blessings we partake of.

Thank -you Father  (God)
