Happy Thanksgiving!


For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies,

For the beauty of each hour
of the day and of the night,
hill and vale, and tree and flow'r,
sun and moon and stars of light,

For the joy of human love,
brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth and friends above,
for all gentle thoughts and mild,

For each perfect gift of thine
to our race so freely giv'n
graces human and divine,
flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n,

Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

Folliot S. Pierpoint, 1864


This post is a repeat from last year, but the message will never be outdated. I hope you all have a wonderful day thanking God for His blessings. One of the things I'm thankful for is the encouragement I've received on this blog and by reading your own blogs. We will be at home this year, hosting Thanksgiving dinner for the first time (pray for me!).
