As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s a wonderful time to pause and reflect on the many blessings in our lives. Beyond the food we enjoy and the special moments with family, the greatest blessing of all is Jesus. Today, I’m sharing a heartfelt poem written by a woman who deeply impacted my life.
THANKSGIVING PRAYER
Lord, teach us we pray
to love and praise you every day;
For every blessing is from above
pure and sweet as a gentle dove.
Teach us always to do thy will
and when you speak to be still;
For You will lead and guide each day
if we will seek thy face and pray.
And may we at this time of year
realize your coming is near;
And spread the news throughout the land
and share to save our fellow man.
So thank you for the blood you shed
to give us life though you were dead;
But rose again to set men free
to live in peace for eternity.
By Shirley McDonald
Happy Thanksgiving!
Let this poem be a gentle nudge to pause, give thanks, and celebrate the gift of Jesus, the reason for our joy and gratitude all year long.
