A Good Thanksgiving

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.”

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
