A Thanksgiving Poem from My Family to Yours

Last year when my eldest son Joshua had just turned eight, he learned and recited a beautiful poem of thanksgiving. The poem gave us all pause for reflection and drew us to thanksgiving to God Who provides for us from day to day. The poem would make very appropriate dinner-table reading tonight, and I’d encourage you to have your children put it to memory – so it can be an inspiration for years to come. Happy Thanksgiving! John-Henry Westen  Editor  LifeSiteNews.com   The Open Door. – Unknown Author Within a town of Holland once  A widow dwelt, ‘tis said,  So […]
