Offering Thanksgiving

Offering Thanksgiving

 Today I give thanks for all the Graces You have bestowed

The ones that help me here and now and those that come tomorrow

All the gifts You offer secular and Sacramentally Divine

That keep me alive and pure and part of Your Loving Vine

 Today I must muster up to stop again as I always seem to fail

Doing things always my way I must stop living this grim fairytale

No today I must strive to be different to surrender my being my ego

To be thankful for all You’ve given I must free myself to You I must let go

 Then I will be able to give myself to all

For I will have You beside me constantly winter spring summer or fall

To do Your Will will be my greatest gift this Thanksgiving

To offer myself to do Your Bidding to You Who have created everything

 Please Lord give me the strength and the courage to do this right

To not fear I call on Your Spirit to keep my path lit bright

And now to  you my Father and Jesus Your Son and the Holy Spirit  All Three

I offer myself my being to You now and forever O Blessed Trinity

Amen
