Leaves russell in the wind, scraping their neighbors branches as the wind tosses them about. Air , crisp and clean, tingling the nostrils as you breath in. Ah, Fall is in the air and soon Thanksgiving will be upon us.

Tis the season where so many things are put into order. People coming around, gathering for families and friends to share their time. Fireplace lighting up the living room, as the wood snaps , crackles and pop within the brick wall of the fireplace.

We gather around our table filled with all sort of wonderful delights just waiting to be tasted, over and over and over again. The table is all set with trimming of lace and bows as pumpkin scented candles glow filling the air with it's sweet temping ordor.

Hands gather , linked one to another,. Quiet comes and with a deep breath and a bowed head we give thanks, a moment of reflection from our hearts and souls.

Bless this day and every day oh Lord that I might walk in the path of the light of your words.
Let me speak not in hate, but in kindness.
Let me hold out my hands to cressess, not to strike in anger.
Let my heart act with love, not with hate.
Let me share the bounty of my labor so that all may eat .
Let me share of my wealth whatever the standard so that none may be cold this night.
Let me act not in hate, but with patience as my Lord would have me do.
Let me break bread with all of my breathens in God's name.
Let me be reminded of my gratefulness so that I may show my thankfulness, this day and everyday.
For everyday is Thanksgiving at God's table and everday is Christmas in God's house. Let me reminded oh Lord what my blessing have been and let me do unto others as I would have them do unto me, this day and everyday.

This is my Thanksgiving prayer, reminding me to always look up first and then down so that I may find the strength to do all things in his name. Always with all of my gratefulness and so much thankfulness.

Happy, blessed and a very wonderful Thanksgiving season to all.

CJ,
That was lovely. I can tell it came from the center of your being, your heart. Thank you for your warm wishes and I hope you and all my heart sisters have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We all have much to be grateful for and need to remember that we are survivors and have been given another chance to live. There are many times I forget to be grateful and just whine and complain. I hope this day of thankfulness reminds me that many in this world live in poverty, both physically and emotionally. We are lucky to have each other for support and comfort and I ask the Lord's blessing on all of you and your families.

Warm Regards,

Rose
