A GOOD THANKSGIVING
Said old gentleman Ray on a
Thanksgiving Day:
“If you want a good time, then give
something away.”
So he sent a fat turkey to shoemaker
Price,
And the shoe maker said: “What a big
bird! How nice!
With such a good dinner before me I
ought
To give Widow Lee the small chicken I
bought.”
“This fine chicken, oh, see!” said the
sweet Widow Lee,
“And the kindness that sent it – how precious
to me!
“I’ll give washwoman Biddy my big
pumpkin pie.”
“And, oh, sure,” Biddy said, “ ’tis
the queen o” all pies!
Just to look at its yellow face
gladdens my eyes!
Now it’s my turn, I think, and a sweet
ginger cake
For the motherless Finnigan children I’ll
bake.”
Cried the Finnigan children, Rose,
Denny and Hugh:
“It smells sweet of spice, and we’ll carry
a slice
To little lame Jake, who has nothing
that’s nice.”
“Oh, I thank you and thank you!” said
little lame Jake;
“What a bootiful, bootiful, bootiful
cake!
And oh, such a big slice! I’ll save all the crumbs,
And give them to each little sparrow
that comes.”
And the sparrows, they twittered, as
if they would say,
Like old gentleman Ray: “On a
Thanksgiving Day,
If you want a good time, then give
something away.”

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
2 Corinthians 9:15
To all my faithful followers,
I am sorry that I
have been absent for a while.
Sometimes life gets
in the way of what we want to do,
but I am richly
blessed and thankful
for all my wonderful
Lord is doing for me.
Here’s wishing you and your family many
