 Thanksgiving Day Prayer
 
 We take so much for granted
 of life and liberty,
 and think that we deserve it;
 the all was done "for me."
 Think how they must have struggled,
 new pilgrims in this land.
 So many died from hardships
 yet still they made a stand.
 When all the work was finished,
 new crops sowed in the ground,
 they gathered with their neighbors,
 asked blessings all around.
 Oh, God help us be grateful
 for gifts you've sent our way.
 For these we want to thank you
 on this Thanksgiving day - -Kris Ediger
