{":Thanksgiving:"} 2

IT IS A DANGEROUS THING TO ASK

WHY SOMEONE ELSE HAS BEEN GIVEN MORE.

IT IS HUMBLING - AND INDEED

HEALTHY - TO ASK WHY

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH.

-Condoleeza Rice



LET US COME

BEFORE HIS PRESENCE WITH THANKSGIVING;

LET US MAKE A

JOYFUL NOISE TO HIM

WITH SONGS OF PRAISE!

Psalm 95:2 AMP

HEAVENLY FATHER,

I HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

YOU HAVE PROVEN

OVER AND OVER AGAIN

JUST HOW MUCH

YOU LOVE ME AS YOU MET MY NEEDS,

FAITHFULLY ANSWERED MY PRAYERS,.

AND GIVE ME

THE SECRET DESIRES OF MY HEART.

WHO ON EARTH WOULD BE SO GRACIOUS?

WHEN I AWAKE IN THE MORNING,

YOURS IS THE PRECIOUS FACE THAT I SEEK.

AND WHEN I GO TO BED AT NIGHT,

IT IS YOUR SWEET VOICE

THAT LULLS ME TO SLEEP.

YOUR PRESENCE GUIDES ME

DOING THE DAY

AND GUARDS ME THROUGH THE NIGHT,

KEEPING ME AND PERFECT PEACE.

YOU DO NOT SLEEP,

BUT INSTEAD ARE PREPARING

BLESSINGS FOR ME AS I DO.

WHENEVER I NEED TO TALK,

YOU'RE ALWAYS READY TO LISTEN.

YOU HAVE ALREADY PLANTED

MY FUTURE AND PREPARED T

HE STEPS FOR MY SUCCESS,

SO I PLACED MY HAND

IN YOURS AND FOLLOW YOU.

FATHER, IF I HAD THE ABILITY AND STRENGTH

TO STAND IN NAME EACH OF MY BLESSINGS,

I BELIEVE I WOULD BE

STANDING THROUGHOUT ETERNITY.

BUT, SHOULD I BECOME PRESUMPTUOUS,

PLEASE

FORGIVE ME

AND HELP ME TO ALWAYS SAY.

"THANK YOU, LORD!"

AMEN.
