A Thanksgiving Day Prayer

Lord, so often times, as any other day
When we sit down to our meal and pray

We hurry along and make fast the blessing
Thanks, amen. Now please pass the dressing

We're slaves to the olfactory overload
We must rush our prayer before the food gets cold

But Lord, I'd like to take a few minute more
To really give thanks to what I'm thankful for

For my family, my health, a nice soft bed
My friends, my freedom, a roof over my head

I'm thankful right now to be surrounded by those
Whose lives touch me more than they'll ever possibly know

Thankful Lord, that You've blessed me beyond measure
Thankful that in my heart lives life's greatest treasure

That You, dear Jesus, reside in that place
And I'm ever so grateful for Your unending grace

So please, heavenly Father, bless this food You've provided
And bless each and every person invited.

Amen!

Hi Kat,,thank you so much for loving my poem.
May I ask as I might've misunderstood but we put
our poems into a story or on Youtube video.I'm not
good at writing stories so could you give me advice please.
Thank you again Kat,bless you.

Xena, think of MsRed's story to music contests. This is a story to poetry one. Just put in the pictures to the lines of the poem.

Great idea for a contest for the holidays. Love it. Bookmarked!

TEXASKITTYKAT

Xena, I think Ciane pretty much explained it. All you have to do is put pictures with your verses to do either a story or if you know how to do a video than you have a choice of doing a either a Youtube video or a story. I can't wait to see what you come up with here.

Ciane, thanks for the assistance. BTW, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Deidre's letters. I was very sorry to see them end. You're a very talented writer my friend. I hope you will also consider entering.

ciane

I'll sure work on something for fun for you.

Good afternoon.:D

springfalls

Looks like fun :-) But I have a question, should the story/video include only Sims/in-game pics or can it include outside Thanksgiving style content as well?
