Tonight I put a few lines together and called it An Atheist's Lament on Thanksgiving Day. How sad it must be to have so much and yet not believe in the God who is the giver of every good and perfect gift. Sad to say, the words of this poem could be true of a lot of people during this Thanksgiving season.
Today I am thankful for friends and great food,
I don't have to work so I'm in a good mood;
Our family will be here and we'll watch the game
We'll be feasting on turkey, it's always the same.
And when it's all over, I've said my "goodbyes"
I'm sick to my stomach, I've got bloodshot eyes;
The bottles are empty and my mind is blank
But saddest of all...I've got no one to thank!
Note: For the believing Christian, Thanksgiving should be one of the most joyous days of the year. The Father has blessed us bountifully and we have so much to praise and thank Him for.

Beautiful!!
And EVERY day is thanksgiving if you are a Christian,eh?...Love Terry
You are so right both of you.
We don't celebrate thanksgiving, but even so, I know the angles must find that my prayer basket is always heavier than my thank you basket. (guess you too heard that story in Sunday School)
