Thankgiving Everyday and Thanksgiving Spirit

Thanksgiving Everyday

Let us be
like the Native Americans,
who every morning
give thanks to the Great Spirit.

Can you imagine
how God feels
to receive thanks only once a year
for His daily blessings.

If at dawn you rise
and speak His name in thanks,
you will celebrate Thanksgiving
everyday of the year.

Thanksgiving Spirit

It is in the sharing
of our blessings that God,
in all His names is worshiped.
