Thanksgiving to Him
Family gathering
Dining with friends
Thanksgiving beckons
Luscious treats and breads.
Table adorned
Finest plates and linen
Fragrant pumpkin and nutmeg
Turkey roasting in the oven.
Smiles and laughter
Deep in conversation
An argument or two
Football on television.
But why do we gather?
Is it only tradition,
A day off of work,
What is the reason?
The goodness of God
All His provision
Bowed heads and blessing
He is the reason.
