Lord, we come so often with petitions and pleas
And I’m sure You’re glad we do
Because of who You are, You Love to meet our needs
But today we bring no list
And we know it’s not enough,
But please accept our thanks.
In Your word we’ve read,
And we’ve heard it said,
A thousand years is as a day,
And a day is as a thousand
So today as we give You thanks
May it be as a thousand
And if we may ask
Just one thing
We invite you to join us
As our Guest of Honor
And with each word spoken
With each crumb broken
Let us treat each other
As if we’re dining
With The King
Thanks.

This really touched me. I think I will remember this, as part of my Thanksgiving prayer before dinner next year for our family. God as our Guest of Honor. So beautiful - can't wait to really sit down with Him.. and all of us together one day! REALLY! Can you imagine that Thanksgiving dinner, friend? ;)
Hi Faith B, So nice to see you again! I woke with this poem Thanksgiving morning. I wrote it & my wife read and said "You should ask to pray this at the Clubhouse before our meal today." I asked her not to say anything and said, "If God wants me to pray then He can find a way. I'll be asked before the meal." Sure enough, He did, and I was honored to say the Thanksgiving prayer before our RV Park Thanksgiving meal. Later I told Mr Johnson what transpired and he told me a story that led to the post Mr Johnson. God is good!
