THANKSGIVING

We thank God for so many things today.

Though some may call them little things, yet we Have learned we cannot measure blessings nor The stars just by the viewpoint that our eyes see.

For friendly neighbors, for a gleaming hearth,

For strength to serve the ones we love each day,

For laughter and contented comradeship,

Our gratitude for these is poor repay.

For eyes that see His hand where beauty is,

For faith that holds fast to man's brotherhood,

For hope and courage, and through tears and smiles, Abiding confidence that God is good.

Now looking back on joys and blessings past (Though some perhaps may never come again!),

I am so thankful that when they were mine My heart was deeply grateful for them then.
