Thanksgiving Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we bow our heads today 
We join in prayer for the blessings that you have sent our way 
Giving thanks for all the joy you brought to us not only in time of play 

Reaching out and also helping others when their lives are in such dismay 
Gathering together at the family table for a feast of array 
Thanking you Lord in so many different ways

We thank you for the air that we breath and need each day 
Also for giving us our children as we watch them grow into mature adults before they stray
From the homes where we gather thoughts and say prayers to keep our children from harms ways
We thank you Lord for the sun and the energy that it portrays 

And for the eagles and birds that soar in our skies of blue and grey Also for the green grass and farmers fields made of golden hay 
As they harvest our foods that is brought to our tables in so many different ways

But most of all Lord we give thanks to you for making the family come together today
And joining in the prayers and thanking you for the beautiful arrays From a family that has been torn apart but still has time to gather and pray

As we give thanks for our daily blessings in our own special way 
While gathered together at the family table on this Thanksgiving Day

Amen
