Thanksgiving Prayer
We give thanks, our Father, for the many blessings we have
received throughout our lives. Forgive us for being so blind that we
often miss the great joys of companionship, freedom and comfort. Keep
us strong in the defense of the ideals which were born of Thee and
for which our country stands. Amen.
