This Thanksgiving Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

After spending time on the web, I find this to be very true,
There are wolves in sheep’s clothing telling us what to do.
We might fall for their deception because we’re untaught
So Lord forgive us for not heading the signs You brought.

Thanksgiving, I thank you Father that You made me smart
That men won’t hurt me and try to keep me in the dark
Thank you Lord for Your wisdom and Your discernment
to know when people are on the level with honest intent.

Thanksgiving Lord I’ll always remember Your blessings
of our children, our friends who teach us great lessons.
Lord, make us mindful of the poor, the hungry all around
That your will is that they know You, Your love abound.

Thanksgiving Lord with all the beauty of gold and oranges,
bright blue skies, crisp cold air and putting jars in storages.
With all the bounty that this land has richly given to us,
Lord make us mindful of workers toiling, hands calloused.

Thanksgiving I will honor You and lift You in my thoughts
that I should be thankful, grateful for what You’ve taught.
My life is in Your hands Lord as it has been for many years.
I know this holiday may bring my eyes to shed a few tears.

Thanksgivings past have yielded so many good memories
of laughter, close families, elders telling colorful stories.
May this be the year that our hearts be full of Your Word
and may we always remember to say “Thank You Lord”.
