HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I am going to be out of town all this week, Nov. 20-26. In the meantime, here is something for you and your family this holiday season.

Father, We Thank Thee

by Ralph Waldo Emerson

For flowers that bloom about our feet

Father, we thank Thee,

For tender grass so fresh and sweet,

Father, we thank Thee,

For the song of bird and hum of bee,

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

For blue of stream and blue of sky,

Father, we thank Thee,

For pleasant shade and branches high,

Father, we thank Thee,

For fragrant air and cooling breeze,

For beauty of the the blooming trees,

Father, in heaven we thank Thee.

For this new morning with its light,

Father, we thank thee,

For rest and shelter of the night

Father, we thank thee,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends

Father in heaven, we thank thee.
