Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Happy Thanksgiving...I don't have any cards or projects to post for today...in fact I will be leaving in a short while to spend the day with my family...this prayer was taken from our local newspaper by columnist Dear Abby.

Oh, Heavenly Father,

We thank thee for food and remember to feed the hungry.

We thank thee for health and remember the sick.

We thank thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.

May these rememberances stir us to service,

that thy gifts to us may be used for others.

Amen.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving everyone.
