There are so many of you on here that I am happy to call my friend, that I am afraid to do rounds to everyone's thread. I do not want to miss anyone and hurt their feelings. So, instead, I am going to put my wishes on here and hope that all of you come by and see at some point this weekend.
Blessed Redeemer on your throne. We exalt your name for who You are, we give You praise because You are the Great I Am. All praise and honor are Yours, always. I ask you today to smile upon my friends. On this beautiful Thanksgiving Day, let them give You thanks for the many blessings they have in their lives, while praising You in advance for the many blessings yet to come. Father, comfort the hearts of those who are sad and lonely, showing them that in You, they are NEVER alone.
Father we also pray for the many who are far from home this thanksgiving, whether by intent or circumstances. Watch over them, protect them, and let them know that they are always loved, even when they are far from home. Open the hearts and eyes of the many spouses who have strayed, let them see that they need their family as much as their family needs them. Make this holiday season a time of joy and happiness, as many families are restored and the enemy turned away.
Father, also look after the military troops serving around the globe. Protect them as they put their lives on the line to protect us every day. Keep then safe in the shelter of Your arms and return them safely to their families when their service is done.
Thank You Father for all we have in You and all that we are through Your grace and mercy. On this day of giving Thanks we give the most to the Living God who gives us eternal life. Washed and sanctified in the Blood of the Lamb, we praise you and thank you, and seek your continued blessings in the name of your Blessed son, Jesus Christ. Amen
