HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2012

THANKSGIVING IS...

ATTITUDE WITH GRATITUDE

TO

GOD ALMIGHTY

A THANKSGIVING PRAYER

Oh, God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a warm home,
help me to remember the homeless;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer;
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency
and bestir my compassion.
Make me concerned enough to help,
by word and deed,
those who cry out
for what we take for granted.

- Samuel F. Pugh

"For I was hungry and you gave Me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed Me...."
- Matthew 25:35
