Of All These Things Be Thankful
Of All These Things Be Thankful
Praise God, for He breathed life into you.
And thank Him for all of your loved ones who,
Have been able to share their moments here,
And create the memories that we all hold so dear.
Health and happiness, home and food,
Neighbors and friends who when needed would,
Always be there with a helping hand,
Making our lives here on earth, so grand.
And lest we forget, our freedom to live,
And to worship God as we believe,
Because of the men and women who fight
For our land here, and overseas.
Thank God for His most precious Son,
Who shed His blood for everyone.
For without His Love, we would be lost,
To save our souls, Jesus paid all the costs.
So, on this day, as you are down on your knees,
Of all these things , be Thankful...please.
And ask our Father, in heaven above,
To give us the Blessings and Peace, of His Love.
Tonya Richard/2001
