My Thanksgiving Prayer

When turkey’s on the table,

And good things I can scan,
I’m thankful that I wasn’t made
A v-e-g-e-t-a-r-i-a-n.
Heavenly Father, bless us,
And keep us all alive;
There’s ten of us for dinner
And not enough for five.

Now for the Serious Prayer

Our Father in Heaven,
We give thanks for this food
Prepared and shared by family and friends
We give thanks for our lives, for being together today
We are thankful for the freedom we share

As we eat this food,
We pray for health and strength
To carry on and try to live as You would have us.
This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ,
Our Heavenly Father.
Amen
