Thanksgiving approaches and Christmas draws near
We’re told to be thankful, to be of good cheer,
Yet many are quietly hurting inside.
I pray they find someone in whom to confide.
I pray for the comfort of hugs or a touch,
Expressions of love that can offer so much.
Love is a gift and let’s each find a way
To share it with others to brighten their day.
As we share from the heart, we discover great joy
Returned in full measure for us to enjoy.
No matter the number of days that you live,
You’ll always know peace if you’ve learned how to give.
I pray that you know the true source of our love,
The One born in a manger, love sent from above.
