The year is circling.
The light returns again.
Minute by minute
it’s a new dawn.
Loss is behind us
What’s coming is new,
so welcome beginnings
and good things for you.

Nazarene preacher W. T. Purkiser said,
“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.”
So let us be thankful for our meal, our lives, our friends and our many blessings, and then let us use each to fuel positive change around us.

It’s doggerel, but it works…
.
For peace in a world where many know war
For health in a world where many are sore
For wealth in a world where many are poor
For friends in a world where friends are the core
These are precious gifts that we are thankful for.
