2. Dear God, dear God, thank you God I didn't have to kill it myself.
3. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Nonprofit organization operating under the principle that "animals are not ours to eat, wear, perform experiments on, or use for entertainment." Happy thanks giving
4. read my blog for today, it might help.
5. Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit. Robert Burns
6. you need to speak from the heart at the moment. canned prayer does God zero good and you less.
7. Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub. AMEN.
8. "Bless O Lord God these gifts to our use, and our lives to thy service, keeping us ever mindful and responsive to the needs of others, through Christ, our Lord."
9. Ask for nothing, thank for everything, and be glad to be alive.
10. It comes from your heart. Give thanks!
11. I recommend letting the Holy Spirit guide you to offer thanks for all that you are thankful for...speak from the heart. But here is the standard prayer of grace that I often use... "Come Lord Jesus, Be our Guest, Let these gifts to us be blessed. Amen."
12. Just thank God from your heart for that which he has given you....the ability to have this new home, the food He has provided and most importantly the blessing of having your family together. Just speak from your heart and honestly, humbly, thank Him.
13. you can always read the words to a good hymn Here are some of the words from the thankgiving song from Godspell We plow the field and scatter the good seed on the land But it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand He sends the snow in winter. the warmth to swell the grain The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain All good gifts around us, Are sent from Heaven above So thank the Lord oh thank the Lord
14. The best prayers come straight from the heart. Use your own words and tell what you are thankful for. Be sure to close with "in the name of Jesus Christ" or something like that because we know that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man and you want God to receive your prayer. Do not worry about impressing the people there. Just be truthful with God and everything will go well for you.
