Thanksgiving

Turkey and pie…oh my oh my
How far we have drifted
From our Creator on high
To think anything good,
Could, would or should
Come from our acts
Apart from the facts
That all that is ours
Whether hovels or towers
Was given in love
By our Father above
To cause giving of thanks
Not trusting in banks
Nor boasting of deeds
Taking credit for seeds
That grow nothing but weeds
While all that we’ve done,
Blessed by Father and Son,
Is not ours to claim
But points to The name
That heals blind and lame
So we’ll know in our heart
We are nothing apart…
From Him.

“For who regards you as superior?
What do you have that you did not receive?
And if you did receive it, why do you boast
as if you had not received it.”
I Cor. 4:7
