THANKSGIVING
Old Rhyme
The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway—
Thanksgiving comes again!
In all circumstances give thanks,
1 Thessalonians 5:18
for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Traditional Chinese Translation
《凡事謝恩》
凡事謝恩 ；
因為這是神在基督耶穌裡向你們所定的旨意 。
Dear GMC, have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving. I thought I’d share the following Franciscan prayer:
I’ve been given much, Lord,
through your profound and radiant
love and grace.
Whether in sharing delicious meals with loved ones
or basking in the glory of the natural world, all provided by you,
I am blessed indeed.
For all that you’ve given,
I say with simplicity and sincerity, “Thank you.”
Happy Thanksgiving, fdan!
