THANKSGIVING  2006

By  Dean  Beaty  11/12/06

 

In giving thanksgiving, where do I start

To speak of the gratitude that fills all my heart?

To thank my great Savior, that’s at the top.

So much He has done, there’s no place to stop

 

The love He has given, His death on the cross.

All men’s great eloquence would be at a loss.

But this I can mention, then I’ll move on.

He bore my iniquity, my sins are all gone.

 

But then there’s my family and first comes my wife.

She gives of her loveliness that brightens my life.

And then comes the children, three lovely girls,

Mom made them beautiful, with long bouncy curls.

 

Not to be forgotten, the grandkids come next.

So much fun to spoil, their parents to vex.

That’s why God gave them, so we’ll do our part.

We know you don’t mind.  They’re close to our heart.

 

So much to thank God for, we’ve reason to praise,

Giving the Lord thanksgiving in all of our days.

I Thank Thee for everything from Thy gracious hand.

All things so bountiful, wonderful and grand.
