Giving Thanks - From Lynn Beckman

My colleague, former student, and dear friend shared this Thanksgiving Blessing with us ...

Today I am so truly thankful for so many things.
I have been blessed in so many ways.
I am thankful for the wonderful country I live in, and for all its many heroes.
I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends.
They are my greatest blessing.
I am thankful for the creatures that are put on earth for us all.
They teach us so much, unconditional love, loyalty, and understanding.
I ask that all who suffer with illness have this day free from pain.
I am thankful for all who have tables filled with food and someone to share it with.
And for those that have no family or food,
Lord, I ask that You comfort them.
I am thankful for the time I had with my loved ones
that have gone on to be with You.
They shall always be loved and greatly missed.
I am thankful for allowing me to have love and understanding in my heart.
It is these many blessings that make my humble life happy and fulfilled.

Amen

We hope your Thanksgiving was blessed with love, peace and grace.
