Forget about the turkey,
the dressing and the sides
forget about the pumpkin
pecan or chocolate pies.
Instead lift up your voice,
with shouts of joy and praise
to God your loving Father
let your thanksgiving raise.
Forget about the cleaning,
the flowers and table setting
forget about all the stuff . . .
over which you’re sweating.
Instead show the Lord,
your genuine gratitude
give your thanks to Jesus
for His gracious servitude.
Forget about the dinner,
and cooking that big bird . . .
instead let your song of praise
to God, be forever heard!
~~~~~~~~
O come, let us sing unto the Lord:
let us make a joyful noise to the
rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence
with thanksgiving, and make a joyful
noise unto him with psalms.
King James Version

Hi Deborah – I really enjoyed this poem. Particularly liked this part
Forget about the cleaning,
the flowers and table setting
forget about all the stuff . . .
over which you’re sweating.

Yeah we seem to sweat all the “stuff” that we need to do and get done this time of the year and I have learned it’s not worth it! ~ Blessings ~
