Thanksgiving Prayers 2008 and 2009

Thanksgiving Prayer 2009

The year has come and gone.
Many changes.
Many challenges,
And even a few tears.
I have so much to be thankful for!

Yes, some tears
For lost friends,
Lost church,
Lost pastor.
But I still have so much to be thankful for!

Thankful for new house,
Good health,
Personal success with my writing.
I have so much to be thankful for!

Thankful for a new church,
New friends,
New Ministry.
I have so much to be thankful for!

Most of all I am thankful for
Old friends back in my life,
April, Brenda Lois,Maryann, Peggy, Sharon, Wilodene
( in alphabetical order J)
And so many others…..
I have so much to be thankful for!

I am thankful for the love of God in my life.
Constant.
Very evident.
He is faithful when I am not.

I have so much to be thankful for!





A Thanksgiving Prayer 2008

"Thank you Lord for another year. We have had out ups-and-downs, yet You have been faithful through it all. I thank you for my family. Without them I would be alone.

We don’t have the same politics

But they are my family.


We don’t believe the same spiritually

But they are my family.


Our lifestyles are not similar

But they are my family.

We don’t have much in common

But they are my family.

We are about as dysfunctional as the people next door

Yes, they are my family,

And You gave them to me.

Thank you Lord for my family.
Let me love them more,
and serve them more,
and show You to them more often, in 2010.

I thank you for my family. Without them I would be alone."

(That sure speaks to my heart...what about you?? Now go and have a Happy Thanksgiving get together with your family.)

Love, Jeanne Pass it on... Jesus is the Reason for the Season!
