For My Thanksgiving Friend.. |
~ My Thanksgiving Blessing for you ~
May your special day be filled with blessings from above,
Wrapped with the warmth
of friends and family you love,
Held together with the wonder of God's tender care,
Tied with pretty ribbons of soft hugs to share,
All adorned with sweet kisses
of those you love most.

~ Happy Thanksgiving Pun'kin ~
I went into my pun'kin patch to pick the best of all
And there I found the sweetest one, yes, I loaded you aboard-
And then I took you home,
For where else should you be
But carted back to my place to live in the heart of me.
Now in my heart is where it's at
'Thanksgiving', just for you,
God knew you'd be the bestest friend
'Cause friendship's what you do.

~ Thanksgiving Recipe Gift ~
If I should create today a thanksgiving recipe
What might I want to pray for the tender heart of thee
Might I fossick through the pretty forest for it's goodness sweet
Uncover georgeous colours, to create you such a treat
Would I climb on high for gentleness to find a joy beyond our reach
Somewhere far above the stars or upon a peaceful beach
Might I discover loveliness, for only perfect peace would do
To make a thangsgiving blessing, for the precious heart of you
Shall I journey down a valley, deep in prayer, to wend my way
To pluck the most delicious fruit that I could ever gain
Then from above I see
the wondrous love of God, all a-tumbling down
To overcome each heartache and relieve your every pain.
God bless you my friend, again and again.

~ Beary Thanksgiving Care ~
A little itty bitty bear for a little itty bitty care
For I so love thanksgiving celebrations I just have to share
How precious it is to spend so much time
Pondering on God's goodness, in this heart of mine
That I want to wrap my arms 'round sweet pumpkin friends
And whisper I love you
Again and again.

Who thanks for little will thank for much.

~ Happy Thanks To You ~
My thanksgiving will be happy all because of you,
For God gave me a friend to blow away the blues
He knew I needed someone, my heart to bless,
With the fruit of His spirit, He selected all His best.
For you offer a gentle joy, sweeter than peach,
Your goodness overflows, just within reach.
As an apple a day, keeps the doctor away,
Like the peace you share, is so nice every day.
So please take these thoughts I offer to you
For you deserve the abundance
Of my gratitude.

If you are feeling just a little lonely on this thanksgiving day,
Then I pray an angel of blessing will bring all my hugs your way.
May heaven shower into your soul, soft gifts from God above
Sprinkling from His tender grace, bouquets of gentle love.
I pray on Thanksgiving day, your heart will be touched
Beyond belief
With a secret joy - miraculous.

~ Happy Thanksgiving To My Friend
~Happy Thanksgiving thoughts, with all my love I send,
May thanksgiving joy uplift you now, as our thanks to God ascend-
In gratitude to our Father God, for all that He has done
From my home to yours, I send thanksgiving hugs.
I pray a beautiful time of joy for you, with each beloved friend,
As God's windows of heaven open, and His love for you descends.
I have a prayer of gladness too
how together we shall be-
As everlasting sisters, today, for aye
In His dear Family.

and in the middle of the night his SONG shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my life. Psalms 42:8

~My Friend, My Thanksgiving Blessing~
There's days I feel so many blessings
There's days I feel there's few
But each day, I'm glad for one so special - I thank our God for you
You're always far, but nearer yet we cannot be
And for that, I cannot ask
But you're my friend for always, yes, and that is no small task
You think of me, when it is hushed
Or when a day is toilsome, rushed
You think of me at dawn's bright glow
You pray for me at dusk
And so today I thank you so dear friend, for the love that you convey
I thank My God for blessing me
With you, in every way

The most blessed person in the world
is not the one who has wealth that they have earned.
It's the one who has a friend to whom they turn.

~ Joy Of Thanksgiving ~
If I should count my blessings then what could I include
Where should I begin, what loveliness is true...
Might I start without, of all that I can see,
From horizon to horizon... Oh, there's far too much for me.
Then shall I glance around, at all close within my gaze
The many blessings for my comfort, given in a myriad of ways
Then the sweetness of God's presence.. His life to ever know
The peaceful joy and love He gives. because I am His own
I thank Him for each special friend
And for every gift that leaps
Right into my little heart that I can always keep.

Originality is not doing something no one else has ever done,

Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light!
Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!

For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

There are very special treasures we appreciate with love
The abundant blessings we receive always more than just enough
The delight of dearest friends, our homes where love's the key
That open wide the door of love for you and me
On this day that we remember the sharing of that love
Our hearts as one together lift in praise to God above

~ November Thanksgiving ~
A year's gone by of sowing seeds... Oh, such special seeds of love
Caring, sharing, giving all and now thanksgiving comes
We pause within the harvest our hands upheld in praise
For God's great goodness pouring down upon us all our days
I thank Him for His blessings, for shelter, friends and food
For every need He did supply and most of all, for you
Thankyou for your friendship, thankyou for your care
God bless you for the kindness you very gladly share

K for kitchen kettle's croon, kith &kin expected soon
S for sizzles sight, sound something special all about
That spells THANKS for joy in living and a bountiful Thanksgiving.

Across the miles thanksgiving can truly be as real,
Sending little notes of thanks, thoughts that we may feel.
Across the miles thanksgiving is celebrated then,
Enjoying feasts of friendship, forever with my friend.
Across the miles thanksgiving can be such a sweet surprise,
Sharing gifts of heaven, sending heartfelt smiles.
Across the miles thanksgiving -of God we can impart,
We shall ever share His beauty
Together one in heart.

Poetry from the Heart
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
Giovanni di Bernardone (Francis of Assisi)
