Good Morning, God
Lord, we are in need down here.  We often seem to be in so much need that we forget to say "thanks" for what we have.  This week as we look forward to Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, we are looking right past it to Friday, the day we emphatically call "Black Friday" because it is the day retailers end up in "the black" because of the sales.  However, we have seen the advertisements, the sales and had the thoughts that we really have the entire week or the entire month with special prices to draw customers to make the sales, to make the profits, to make the business for the year.
Lord, we are grateful for our abundant blessings-for life, for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness.  Especially this week, may we really "count our many blessings" and name them one by one.  Perhaps then, Lord, we will not pass right over Thursday, but enjoy the day with family, friends and every bit of the turkey and dressing we eat.  Thank you for your love and abundant blessings, Lord.
In Jesus name, Amen
