To All Of My Friends, Both Old and New---
I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving and Holiday Season. However, I would rather all have a memorable and prayerful season, as without God nothing is possible. Feel free to pass along, but don't feel obligation.
You won't get seven wishes, if you pass this on to seven people. Nobody will love you more, or you won't find love, if you send this along. :)
"Dear God, Our Father--
Thank you for all of the things you have provided and the things you have not given us, due to the fact you know all things. Thank you for friends, siblings, family, all of the people in our lives, both good and bad, as it always takes everyone for us to be who we are and who we will become. God thank you for all of the things we do not know about, the things we do know, and help us to be a sponge, to learn and be a vital part of everyone's live, we may come in contact with.
God thank you for the safety we have, and the life you have breathed into us. As no matter how bad our pain is, our situation may be, or the constant barrage of things in our lives, we are thankful to have the chance to make a difference. Thank you for our health and all of the health of those around us. Yet, make those who are not healthy, or dealing with those who are not, to understand we are just a vessel on earth, and our true future is with You, OUR God, in Heaven.
Please God, grant us the ability to live with a purpose, Your purpose, looking ahead to make a difference for Your Plan. God please hold your hand out to those who are not Christian, in hopes a change and eternity (with You) will come. God please help those who are in hunger, in terror (India), who have been wronged (in any way) by others, or have a life they are struggling with, to hold on, look to You, and please show the way.
Finally, God please allow everyone to not just see the "Thanks" on this holiday, but in everyday, hour, minute, second, in order for lives to be lived, instead of just coasted thru, filled with dread, or what may come. You are the Almighty and without you, there would be nothing. Please show us how to make a difference in our lives and others, in accordance with Your will.
In Jesus' name, Amen"
