Johnny Cash - Thanksgiving Prayer


We've come to the time in the season
When family and friends gather near
To offer a prayer of Thanksgiving
For blessings we've known through the year
To join hands and thank the creator
And now when Thanksgiving is due
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you

I'm grateful for the laughter of children
The sun and the wind and the rain
The color of blue in your sweet eyes
The sight of a high ball and train
The moon rise over a prairie
Old love that you've made new
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you

And when the time comes to be going
It won't be in sorrow and tear
I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll go on my way
Grateful for all of the years
I thank for all that you gave me
For teaching me what love can do
Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life
I'm thanking the Lord He made you
Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life
I'm thanking the Lord He made you

Mary Chapin Carpenter - Thanksgiving Song

Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered round this table.
From far and near we travel home,
Blessed that we are able.

Grateful for this sheltered place
With light in every window,
Saying "welcome, welcome, share this feast
Come in away from sorrow."

Father, mother, daughter, son,
Neighbor, friend and friendless;
All together everyone in the gift of loving-kindness.

Grateful for what's understood,
And all that is forgiven;
We try so hard to be good,
To lead a life worth living.

Father, mother, daughter, son,
Neighbor, friend, and friendless;
All together everyone, let grateful days be endless.


Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered round this table.

Mum was bustling around being “The Hostess With the mostest”.

And What a FEAST. No music...too busy eating. LOL.

Remember...the lady had a TIA the day before yesterday.

Unbelievable.

But then she lived through the London Blitz, so it takes a lot to phase her. LOL!

My brothers, sisters and I sang this song to my parents on their 50th wedding anniversary--makes me cry every time I hear it because I had the BEST PARENTS!

Thanks Again

I've sent bouquets for Mother's Day, For Father's Day, a shirt and card.

While they came from the heart, They all fell short of saying how special you both are.

It wasn't ' til I was up and gone, Married with a couple of kids of my own, Doing what mamas and daddies do, That I realized what I must have put you through.

So thanks again for the love in the cradle, And all of the changes that kept me dry.

And thanks again for the love at our table, And tannin' my bottom when I told you a lie.

For takin' me fishin' and flyin' my kites, And tuckin' me in, yes, night after night:

To my beautiful life-long friends, Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again.

I'm still a young man, least I think I am, But I'm watchin' my own hair turn gray.

And your call last Sunday brought to mind, That I owe you a debt I can never repay.

So thanks again for worryin' and waitin', When I started datin' on weekend nights.

And thanks again for the help with my homework, And sittin' up with me till I got it right.

Your car for the prom, your letters in 'Nam,

But most of all, Daddy, for marryin' Mom:

To my beautiful life long friends, Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again.

To my beautiful life long friends, Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again.

Woohoo...G-Ma’s house! Did you all get lots to eat?

Happy Thanksgiving, Luv....did you bring home some pie?

Did you get your nap?
