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.

I’ve got a 3# Butterball in the oven. I don’t cook usually, but can follow directions fairly well.

I did that two years ago. It came out reasonably well, but it’s too much work for someone who lives alone. I opened up some cranberry sauce, a bagged salad, some crusty French bread and a bottle of chardonnay to go with my supermarket turkey. I had a slice of supermarket pumpkin pie afterward. Pretty much the same as last year.

I may get nailed for posting this song, but here goes.
Back in the 90's, there was a song called "Thank You" by a Christian artist named Ray Boltz. It did very, very well on the Christian charts and became famous throughout American Christianity. It was a very touching song about a man getting recognized in Heaven for all the little things that never got noticed that he did on earth.
After the success of the song, Mr Boltz did very well for himself, recording a few other Christian hits. But then, the story takes a nasty turn.
In the late 90's or early 2000's, Mr Boltz divorced his wife and came out as a homosexual. His fans were shocked. Christian radio stations all over the country pulled all of his music from their playlists. He has since come out as a gay activist, and has taken part in the "It gets better" campaign.
in spite of all this, God has used this song mightily to remind people that even though they may not see any results from what they do here on earth, when they stand before Him in Heaven, all will be revealed and it will show them how much He appreciated it.
Thank You Ray Boltz

Help from the Outside
November 27, 2015
God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
1 John 3:20
On a business trip, my husband had just settled into his hotel room when he heard an unusual noise. He stepped into the hall to investigate and heard someone yelling from a nearby room. With the help of a hotel worker, he discovered that a man had become trapped in the bathroom. The lock on the bathroom door had malfunctioned and the man trapped inside started to panic. He felt like he couldnât breathe and began yelling for help.
Sometimes in life we feel trapped. We are banging on the door, pulling on the handle, but we canât get free. We need help from the outside, just like the man in the hotel.
To get that outside assistance, we have to admit that we are helpless on our own. Sometimes we look inward for the answers to our problems, yet the Bible says âthe heart is deceitfulâ (Jer. 17:9). In truth, we are often the source of our problems in life.
Thankfully, âGod is greater than our hearts, and he knows everythingâ (1 John 3:20). Because of this, He knows exactly how to help us. Lasting heart-level change and real progress with our problems originate with God. Trusting Him and living to please Him means we can flourish and be truly free.
Heavenly Father, I humble myself before You. I canât solve my problems on my own. Please help me to seek Your help and perspective.
God helps those who know they are helpless.
The Bible describes the heart as the very basis of our characterâthe center of who we are and the source of our thoughts, feelings, and actions (see Prov. 4:23; 23:7). âThe heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cureâ (Jer. 17:9) is the consistent verdict of Scripture. This deceitfulness has made humanity incapable of knowing how sinful we really are, for only God knows the true condition of our heart (2 Chron. 6:30; Ps. 139:1-4; Jer. 17:10). We will not admit we are sinners apart from divine intervention, revelation, and conviction (John 6:65; Rom. 8:7-11; 2 Cor. 4:4). But God will redeem and give a new heart to all who humbly come to Him and accept His grace and mercy (Ps. 51:10; 2 Cor. 5:17).
