A Prayer For Thanksgiving!

[DeaconSteve]

Dear Lord,
We come to you this joyful day,
to fold our hands in prayer –
to acknowledge all the gifts you gave,
and the blessings we did share.
We thank you for our freedom,
and those who defend it so –
that we might live in blessed peace,
with a love you have bestowed.
We thank you for our families and friends,
and for each day throughout the year -
as you graced our tables with plenty,
and your presence always there.
We thank you for the comfort,
when some of our days were sad –
because you gave the greatest gift,
your grace to make us glad.
We ask you to remain with us,
on this Thanksgiving Day –
to thank you especially for the gift of faith,
that you have sent our way!

[Cutest_Jewel]

woohoo go Steve i got my firt ecard about 3 weeks after i got here on nethugs (mayme it was a month and a half Idk) but yes again congrats!

[DeaconSteve]

Thank you all very much. I'm still kind of stunned. Don't tell my family, but I was almost gald when they all left so I could come back here with my other family, my NetHugs family. I want to tell you all something. When I joined NetHugs, I had not written a single poem in over thirty years. It has only been through your love, support, friendship, kindness, and especially your inspiration that I have been able to put pen to paper again, or rather keystroke to computer. So, all that I have written and will write in the future belongs to you, not me. I am so happy when I'm that it's hard for me to leave. I do have chores to do though, and I do have to take care of mom Daugherty, but any free time I get, it's back here to my other family. You are all so special, each in your own unique way. That's all for now. I am an emotional person as I grow older (I'm still young now LOL), and I don't want to start crying. I just wanted you to know how much you all mean to me and how much I love you. You are the best friends in the world, and this is by far the best website in the world. God bless all of you.
