My “Day of Thanks” Prayer

Today is a day of reflection, when we look around us as well as inside of us and give thanks for everything that has happen to us. The good as well as the bad experiences since for each carries a lesson we should be thankful for. So I am thankful for our nation, and thankful for having family and friends. I have been blessed in the course of this years to have met so many individuals whom have encouraged me, believed in my cause an have helped me in getting the word out. Those individuals who have volunteered and offer their time to help me, those whom have extended their home and made our visit possible, those whom have prayed for me in my mission and for my safety;

I am thankful for all the new friends I have this year. As I am for those old friends who have been my salvation all these past years, without them I would have never survived.

I am thankful for a family whose unconditional love has never faulted, and prayers who has blessed me in everything I do.

I am thankful for my own, foster, and step children, and the grandchildren they have giving me, for they are the beat of my heart that keeps me living each day.

I am thankful for my children both those who are around me as those whom are far away for each day I am hopeful we will all one day be together again.

I am thankful for living in this great nation, where freedom exists, people can dream, and opportunities are created where we can always start again.

I am thankful for having the corruption in politics, greed in corporation, show me where we are failing as a nation, to have the insight to vote to change this and be more involved each day.

I am thankful to have good health and be able to do what I am doing, for I know the difference of not having the energy to carry on doing.

I am thankful for all of Gods creations who without them we would not have a world to live and enjoy. So I am thankful we as a nation are finally doing something to save our world.

I am thankful for all religions, for their teaching in love and peace, may we all remember to do this before we act and speak.

This special day of thanksgiving is to remind us on how different we all are, as well as we are all alike. To learn to live in harmony and share our good fortune with other, for today we may have and tomorrow may have not. Regardless of whether we have or have not, we all must be thankful for today is the “Day of Thanks”.
