An Army Mom's Thanksgiving Prayer

Dear Lord, please hear this prayer:
This year, I’ll leave an empty chair
to mark the spot where someone
should have been.

My son is home, but many sons are not,
And so I thought I’d say a prayer for them -
and for those who wait -
hoping that it’s not too late.

Lord, when you see that empty place
meant for those who haven’t come home yet -

Let them know, I didn’t forget.

I'm always glad and grateful to see your post here on the profile thread.

I try to keep our boys and girls, men and women in mind everyday, think about what they are going through, seeing, feeling at the moment...youi help me start the day that way.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, pardner.
