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.

Please remember that The Canteen is here to support
and entertain our troops and veterans and their families,
and is family friendly.

“Danke Schoen,” sung by Wayne Newton, Brenda Lee and Ferris Bueller

I like Anita Lindblom's version, from 1962. She prounounces "Danke Schoen" correctly.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Did you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and too much to eat?

We just finished. My brother surprised my Mom (and me last night) and came by to visit and eat. Pumpkin pie will have to wait til later.

[Fiji Hill]

The nation is coming out of a depression and a world war. The labor unions are strike-happy as government spending generates runaway inflation while price controls generate shortages of all sorts of consumer goods. All these forces combine to turn the economy into a mess. Nonetheless, the Pied Pipers can find something to be thankful for.

[The Mayor]

We had a great day with the whole family. 30 of us total.
I ate some pumpkin pie but pigged out on dinner.
What a great surprise for you and your mom.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy Thanksgiving, Ms feather...*hugs*...my brother, who retired to Tennessee, has decided to re-enter the work force. Their boat is taking more money to redo than they thought. So he is up here and came by for dinner. He will be going back to the slope soon.

Love your Thanksgiving Overture.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I agree with you about too much work. Everything came out just fine, but I forgot the cranberry sauce....one of my favorite things. And my knees are screaming about too much standing. I think a bath with the jets going may be in order later.

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy!

Whew...too much eating and too much card play has tuckered me out.

Hitting the sack. Tomorrow my sister and I are going to visit some old friends we haven't seen in years.

Have a great evening!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, Right-wing Librarian...too funny, but someone got sold to Butterball. That’s what we had. LOL!

Happy Thanksgiving! Did you have lots of turkey and trimmings?

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOW! Pilgrims’ Chorus Rag...love it!

LOL! If I drank that would be a good addition. Maybe a good read on my iPad instead. I need to stay awake.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Beautiful...your Mom surely “enjoyed” such a wonderful hymn.

Were you able to plan the music with her before she passed on?
