blessings

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

thanksgiving - ralph waldo emerson - 1803-1882

For food that stays our hunger,
For rest that brings us ease,
For homes where memories linger,
We give our thanks for these.

Thank you for the world so sweet,
Thank you for the food we eat.

Thank you God for everything.
