HAPPY THANKSGIVING



A THANKSGIVING PRAYER...  

Dear God, I come to you with a grateful heart for all the countless blessings that You have graciously bestowed on me this year. Blessings great and small and those from You  I never knew about. Thank you for Your sovereign hand in my life. 

Thank You for walking with me and holding me up through the hard times in life, I have felt Your comfort and presence.

Thank You for you love. It is lavish and beyond measure. I see it in so many ways. But it is manifested best in the abundant life from your Son, Jesus.

Help me Lord, to be more aware of my blessings and my gifts from You and help me to share the love You have for all people. Help me be a channel of your love!

Thank you!


To my DEAR readers....
I am so thankful for all of you! It is hard to express how blessed I feel by your friendship, interest and support! You are in my prayers daily!

I pray that you have many blessings to count!

Happy Thanksgiving!

  15. Dearest Yvonne,
    As I started to read this just now, my first impulse was to think, "Oh, if only I had seen this earlier", I would love to have read your gorgeous words as our blessing before dinner today. But then the words got sweeter and sweeter and tears started coming and I knew I the same would have happened at my blessing! I get so sentimental!

    Lovely.
    Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
    Hope your day has been a bountiful one in so many ways.
    xx

  16. Yvonne,
    As I read your written words, I remembered some of the difficulties you faced earlier this year with your health. I heard the voice of your grateful heart. Warmth and blessings flowed over me as I read that you, too, pray for your followers! You continue to be such a precious blessing in my life...and the lives of others. Thank you for this special Thanksgiving Day message.
    Fondly,
    Pat

  17. Yvonne, that is a beautiful heartfelt prayer. I hope you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I'm sure your family and guest had a memorable one. Today has been a time for counting our blessings and I've been doing a lot of that. Having sweet blogging friends like you is a new blessing for me. I enjoy the creativity, talent and friendship of so many lovely ladies through blogging. I am thankful for that experience. God bless---- Shannon
