***** THE THANKSGIVING RECIPE PRAYER *****
DEAR FATHER:
I come before you with a very thankful heart today.....
Humbled and honored for all the wonderful things I see,
Asking that you would help me in your own sweet, perfect way
to develop the greatest Thanksgiving Day recipe.

Starting with a pound of love, and a cup of happiness.....
add a dash of laughter and peace, and mix it thoroughly,
Stir in the presence of family and friends at its best
and if you add some chocolate pie, that's alright with me.
Next, blend in memories to brighten each moment gone by.....
Add in some warm thoughts and kind words to fill the room so true,
Sprinkle it with motivation that keeps the spirit high
Realizing that genuine thanksgiving means blessing too.
Bestow good food and the hands to prepare it all with care.....
and fill each body with grace as they take every bite,
Please make each heart observant and always strongly aware
of others to remember and pray for on this great night.
Thanksgiving is not a day, it's a way of life each year.....
Thank you for all your goodness and the perfect recipe,
to share your life with others that you know, love, and hold dear
and to be a great light that always shines so brilliantly.
AMEN. ***********
