It's Not About Turkey
By George Thurlow

Thanksgiving is not about turkey,
Stuffing and pumpkin pie,
Neither holiday hoopla,
Nor parades passing by...
Dare I mention football
With its endless string of games,
Being a couch potato,
Or a day off from work with pay?
Thanksgiving once was set aside
To bless and honor God,
To thank Him for His mercies
And for the land on which we trod.
Thanksgiving is a holy day
Sacred and set apart,
A special day of reverence
With rejoicing from the heart.
Family, food, and fellowship
Most certainly have their place;
But don't forget to bless the Lord
Full of love and grace.
