Only a skeleton of the turkey remains
Of what was a great scrumptious dinner
With dressing, mashed potatos, and fixings
Janet's cooking produced us another winner
Before the corn, green beans and cranberries
With the turkey, gravy and the great dressing
We all gathered around the old dinner table
It was then that Harry said the great blessing
We sat down to the table with empty feelings
Then we filled up our plates to overflowing
With all the extra helpings I put on my plate
I must have thought I was a boy still growing
Getting up from that table became a big chore
I had eaten so much more than I had thought
Sitting down to watch the pro football game
Relief from this filled up stomach I sought

No Other Way
So many friends have passed on now
To that home that is far away in the sky
Transformed to a life that is now eternal
On this Earth their mortal life had to die
They are now in the arms of our Savior
Ever happy they will feel pain no more
Faithful while living in this sinful world
Believing in Him opened Heaven's door
To join them my heart must be faithful
I too must believe in God and His word
When I enter His Kingdom up in Heaven
I will hear the best greeting ever heard
Those friends will all come to greet me
To welcome me home on that great day
There I will hear their shouts of elation
I believe in God, there is no other way

I Thank Him
So many thanks I owe my precious lord
First of all I thank Him for my lovely wife
I thank Him for taking from me my sins
For allowing me to have a Christian life
I thank Him for the friends I have made
Many kind people He has let me meet
For all of this love He has given to me
Knowing His sweet love can't be beat
He has given a church where I worship
A fine Pastor who has spread His word
A great choir with their voice's blending
Singing Hymns, sweetest I ever heard
So many things I do now thank Him for
Thanksgiving comes to us once a year
But daily I thank the Lord up in Heaven
For all 78 years I have spent down here

Your Home With Him
Wont you meet me up in God's Heaven
All of our friends will be gathering there
There to be with God's Eternal Blessing
Where we will have no fear or any care
Jesus has a great plan for our salvation
He gave up His life to erase all our sin
He is the way and the light that leads us
Believing in Him is the only way to begin
Follow the path He has planned for you
Don't stray, but walk on that perfect line
He will guide you through the hardships
Always look to Him He will show the sign
His love for you is like no other feeling
You know that you will be Heaven bound
When you see Him He will show a smile
Your home with Him you have now found

We Give Him Thanks
After all of our crops are harvested
It is time to give thanks to our Lord
A feast ln His honor will be in order
A blessing, after the coffee is poured
We will thank Him for the great crops
He gave us weather for the food to grow
Never was it too wet nor was it too dry
Food to get us through the Winters snow
Thank Him for Hams and slabs of Bacon
Hanging out in the smokehouse left to cure
He certainly has Blessed us this whole year
For all of this we give thanks to our Savior
With the food now blessed, it is time to eat
Mashed potatos, Gravy and roasted Turkey
Fresh Pumpkin pies with lots of whipped cream
Thoughts of staying on my diet has gone astray

Stand Up For Freedom
From England they sailed the seas in 1620
Pilgrims , seeking a home to worship God
Sailing away from the place they were born
They then found that place on American sod
Building a country upon Christian principals
This country survived with many brave men
Fighting the British rule and the unfair taxes
The United States of America then did begin
They fought two wars to gain their freedom
So many wars they have fought to stay free
However now a small amount of its people
Would take that freedom from you and me
America, stand up for your rights and be free
Go back to the standards our forefathers had
Worship our creator and obey all of the laws
If we don't "God Bless America" was only a fad

Our Fallen
Had I have been at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans day these would be the words I would have said.
With heartfelt thanks we now honor them
These great men and women who lie here
Each has given their life for our freedom
Now they are in our Savior's eternal care
Called to fight for the country they loved
They have given up their life here on Earth
Knowing that they could have stayed home
But if they did what would their life be worth
Not one of these brave souls wanted to die
To protect their families they went to war
Heartaches are felt by the many here today
Knowing on Earth we will see them no more
But take heart my dear friends and relatives
They are waiting in Heaven to see you one day
Be guided by God who is in His Heavenly home
Tell Him you love them tonight when you pray

Gates Of Heaven
Some day when we meet up yonder
We will walk along that Golden strand
There we will see our Lord and Savior
To live forever in God's most Holy land
My heart fills with love thinking of Him
For it is through Him I shall eternally live
He gave us all a way to meet His Father
When on that cross His life He did give
To follow in His footsteps is impossible
For He was the only perfect man on Earth
Try to reach as much perfection as you can
Then a home in Heaven shall be your worth
God loves His children this we should know
He gave up His only son to save us from sin
It is through knowing and believing in Jesus
Those gates of Heaven will open and let us in

A Special Prayer
A Special Prayer
With the growing season now over
Our storing chores are nearly done
After canning fruits and vegetables
There are lots of meats to be frozen
Thanksgiving is coming very soon
It's the start of the holiday season
We have a tom turkey in the fridge
Lots of company will be the reason
When we all gather around the table
A prayer of Thanksgiving will be said
We will thank the lord for all this food
Then it will be time to break the bread
A special prayer for all the homeless
Should be said on Thanksgiving day
But for the Grace of our God almighty
We might be the ones that are that way

God's Mighty Hand
God's Mighty Hand
In the misty morning as the Sun slowly rises
Wispy spirals of fog cling to the damp ground
A farmer casts a eager eye up toward Heaven
He knows days of dry weather must be found
In a short eight months the mortgage is due
Long days he has put in working on this farm
He knows that if there are no crops this year
Thoughts of losing his home is cause for alarm
He knows the bank has not had a good year
Extending his loan seem to be mighty bleak
Knowing the weather must help him out now
Else another line of work he will have to seek
Again he cast his eyes up to the Heavenly sky
But this time he has a long prayer with God
Lord, he says in a somewhat awkward manner
Please give us weather to dry out this wet sod
It was then God blessed this believing farmer
A bountiful crop brought money to pay off the land
He then prepared a large feast of Thanksgiving
Knowing he had been guided by God's mighty hand
