Of course, I’m in jest with the prayer below, but I have told you before that I sometimes even tell jokes to God. We have fun together! Same is true for the picture. I told my kids I needed a picture of me pretending to pray, so it was staged. We were eating at a Mexican restaurant. God is part of my family and I am ever so grateful.
My hope for you is that you know Him in that way. He loves you. He wants to be your Friend; albeit, He wants priority time from you and He wants it given with a thankful heart.
Lord, I’m so thankful for:
Food, friends, family and fun
Sunshine, showers, strawberries and sons;
Peanut butter, pie, pencils and pets;
Jelly, jump ropes, juggling, and jets;
Marriage, memories, money, mustard;
Canes, candy, computers, and custard;
Telephones, tigers, teapots and toast;
Romps, rings, rainbows and roast.
And, Lord, while looking at this a second time,
I see I’ve named food on every line.
Could you manage to make every calorie…….
Small? Like in cucumber, lettuce, and celery.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Sweet aroma 
What a fun poem! Still, what’s a few calories among friends? On this day, even with all the chaos around us, pecan pie endures — and for that, I’m thankful!
Long live pecan pie! Ever thankful. We are a pampered lot, aren’t we? Happy Thanksgiving Day, Linda.
What a great prayer! I am very thankful for you and your writing.
Blessings.
Thanks for sticking with me, Michael. You know I’m dead serious on occasion, but I just enjoy my relationship with the Lord so much. I want to leave a testimony behind me that He is joy with a common touch as well as joy with majestic praise. Anyone who sells out to him is in a ride for their life. He is Adventure!
What a lovely prayer and poem. I’ve always believed concerning our Christian walk we should have a balance. Because I do believe our God does have a sense of humor. Have a Happy Thanksgiving—Blessings and Peace.
Thanks for confirming that component of our Lord. So much comedy is vulgar and antithesis of Him, some might think humor itself is wrong. No, it is a pleasant part of our emotions. And they come from God. Be blessed and pass it on
I am very thankful to have gotten to know you better this past year. May God continue to bless you and your family. Happy thanksgiving.
Your talents are a great reward to me. Be blessed.
Fun post 😍
Thank you, SarahC. Love to have fun in a positive way. Be blessed.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and your family, Oneta!
My reward to hear from you. I enjoy your scriptures and the way in which you present them. Thanks for the comment. We had a great day.
GOD bless you, Oneta, you and your family! Glad to know you had a great day with you family especially your great grand kids.
Love your prayer! I have often said God does have a sense of humor! 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving Oneta!
I’m glad to have my view of God confirmed. We did have a great day. Hope yours was also.
Yes. He wants priority time given with a thankful heart.
That got me too, lovely post❤️
Yes, he does. He is a treasure worth seeking. He says for us to seek his face. He is not common; one seldom runs into him accidentally.
Happy Thanksgiving Oneta!!!!!!
Thank you Julie. Hope your day was restful. Mine has been busy but I had help when I gave out. Lovely daughters-in-law and granddaughters. Blessing dear.
Quiet day— ode to pandemic 😑

Happy Thanksgiving!
Benjamin,
Brother’s Campfire🤠🔥
I’m glad to have a name for you, Benjamin. I have taken note of Brother’s Campfire and I’ve visited each time I see you. Today’s poem “When Father Carves the Duck” is my kind of poetry. Love it. I will be following you home each time I see you; it is always worth the visit to your blog.
Fun prayer. Thank you for expressing creative joy!
THANKSGIVING to God today for WHO He is …….the Great I am of Biblical History. The Eternal ONE. Thanks for EVERYTHING! Not just one day but every day we live and breathe. A-men!
Thank you Faye. I hope your day has been pleasant in whatever fashion you have passed it. I will continue to have company for a few days. Most came and went back home today. I did see my little Oliver. We had a five generation picture. I’ll post probably.
I love your great sense of humor. I was just filled with joy there for a moment!
I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you for telling me. I always find my visit to your blog to be worthwhile. Glad to know you.
Haha! I love that God has a sense of humor. I was praying this morning and thanking God that He’s bigger than a virus ” … but then, just about everything is bigger than a virus, isn’t it?”
That is funny. Maybe we should go into a bit more detail and see Him as bigger than a virus’s effect. That He is! Whom shall we fear? No one if we have the Lord. Thank you.
LOL. He knew what I meant, and I knew He knew, but when it comes out funny we can have a chuckle. 😉
Yes, that’s right. Love it!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you. I accept your blessing. Hope the day has be a nice one for you also. I enjoy knowing you have been by.
So sweet, cute, and funny! Glad you had a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Jean. Nice getting the comment from you. Aren’t you ready for a trip this way?
Best poem/prayer ever!! I may have to use that one the next time my kids are here for dinner.
I would be honored, God would be enjoyed all over again. Thanks.
