A Thanksgiving Prayer


This church lady is grateful for so much, family, friends, health, love and laughter. I copy out here a prayer from the Lutheran Book of Worship for Thanksgiving.


Most gracious God, according to your wisdom the deep waters are opened up and clouds drop gently moisture. We praise you for the return of planting and harvest seasons, for the fertility of the soil, for the harvesting of the crops, and for all other blessings which you in your generosity pour on this nation and people. Give us a full understanding of your mercy, and lives which will be respectful, holy and obedient to you throughout all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Darling Andrea, for some reason when I responded to your e-mail, it didn't publish.
We are blessed by you Andrea!
We are blessed by your handsome husband, Kirby.
We are blessed by our Great-Nephew, Mattie Bug.
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner-At Mom's? At Riki's? At your home? Whereever you celebrated, I know you too were surrounded by the love of family. Kisses all around,
Aunty Allyson xxxooo
