A Thanksgiving prayer of Thanks

I’m thankful Lord, for joys
You’ve given me through this year.
They’ve brightened every moment
And brought me so much cheer.

They’ve given me a picture
Of your great, deep love
And your tender watch care
From your home in Heaven above.

I’m thankful Lord, for trials,
Painful though they may be,
They’ve brought me closer to your side,
And helped me to  better see

Just how much I need you,
In every moment of my day
To gently lead me always forward
In what I know is your perfect way.

I’m thankful Lord, for all you’ve done
To keep me  safe through this year.
I’m thankful for all little the blessings,
And for your presence I know is near.

-Chantel Harding Brankshire (2006)
