Thanksgiving

I feel like it's so easy to skip over thanksgiving this year - and head straight into Christmas. Maybe it's becasue we aren't traveling for any holidays this year, so I'm especially excited about decorating our whole house (for the first time) for Christmas.

While watching an episode of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Johnny Cash (guest staring) sang this song, which I'd never heard before. I really enjoyed it and hope you do to! It will end up as a Facebook status soon, I'm sure.

We've come to the time in the season
When family and friends gather near
To offer a prayer of Thanksgiving
For blessings we've known through the year
To join hands and thank the creator
And now when Thanksgiving is due
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you

I'm grateful for the laughter of children
The sun and the wind and the rain
The color of blue in your sweet eyes
The sight of a high ball and train
The moon rise over a prairie
Old love that you've made new
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you

And when the time comes to be going
It won't be in sorrow and tear
I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll go on my way
Grateful for all of the years
I thank for all that you gave me
For teaching me what love can do
Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life
I'm thanking the Lord He made you
