Why did you put it in the Discussion & Debate forum then?

I'm sure you know this has absolutely nothing to do with debating Ethics & Morality.

It is most wise and Good to Give Thanks to GOD. This is ethical and moral. Hence it does belong here.

Thank You LORD GOD for your mercy and love.

Like I said, nothing to do with debating Ethics and Morality.

 

[The Nihilist]

Does it bother anyone else when they thank God for things they clearly did themselves? "Thank you God for this food I had to go to work so I could pay for myself."

 

[ShieldOFaith]

Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into God's presence with singing!
Know that the Lord is God! It is he that made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him, bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures for ever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

 

[The Nihilist]

God sure does spend a lot of time having his authors tell us how great he is. You think it's a confidence problem, or you think he's trying to cover something?

 

[ShieldOFaith]

The Canticle of the Creatures Most High, all-powerful, all-good Lord,
All praise is Yours, all glory, honor and blessings.
To you alone, Most High, do they belong;
no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name.

We praise You, Lord, for all Your creatures,
especially for Brother Sun,
who is the day through whom You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor,
of You Most High, he bears your likeness.

We praise You, Lord, for Sister Moon and the stars,
in the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair.

We praise You, Lord, for Brothers Wind and Air,
fair and stormy, all weather's moods,
by which You cherish all that You have made.

We praise You, Lord, for Sister Water,
so useful, humble, precious and pure.

We praise You, Lord, for Brother Fire,
through whom You light the night.
He is beautiful, playful, robust, and strong.

We praise You, Lord, for Sister Earth,
who sustains us
with her fruits, colored flowers, and herbs.

We praise You, Lord, for those who pardon,
for love of You bear sickness and trial.
Blessed are those who endure in peace,
by You Most High, they will be crowned.

We praise You, Lord, for Sister Death,
from whom no-one living can escape.
Woe to those who die in their sins!
Blessed are those that She finds doing Your Will.
No second death can do them harm.

We praise and bless You, Lord, and give You thanks,
and serve You in all humility.

-St. Francis of Assisi

Now Thank We All our God


Now thank we all our God,
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers' arms
Has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us still in grace,
And guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills,
In this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given;
The Son, and him who reigns
With them in highest heaven;
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

I've always found it quite bland compared to chicken or duck.

Hideous birds too but they sure are fun to wind up. Get close enough and they start bulking themselves up and making puffing noises.

Me too! I prefer all the side dishes

You reminded me of a quote by Bart Simpson saying grace.

"Dear God, we paid for all this stuff ourselves, so thanks for nothing."

... Anyway I wish all the Americans a great thanksgiving , even the ones posting cloying poetry.

Edit: I think this is much better poetry.

Great goddess Athena, thank you this day for protecting us, for giving us the courage and strength to push foreward, for the strength in our spear arms, and for the wisdom to deal with the problems that beset us.

May our shields be strong, our armor hard, and our spears sharp that we may persevere in the years to come. Give us the strength to fight through the days to come, let our beds be warm and our fires high. Let our meals be filling and the drink be cold.

Thank you, great goddess


For once its a decent SoF thread

Try fried turkey if you haven't. I had some today, it's great.

 

[Caitlin.ann]

Lol, I wanna join.

Thank you great and blessed lord and lady for blessing me with wonderful foods which I have once again stuffed myself to almost the point of explosion. Thank you for the pumpkin pie which has graced my lips and the wonderful words I was able to exchange with family and friends. Thank you lord and lady for my blessed fiance who had too much mead (er beer) but is quite content even though he had a horrible day. Thank you for granting me to live in such a blessed nation and the other in which I will live in the future. Thank you for giving me the personal strength and willpower which is such a trademark of mine, and thank you for making today be a wonderful and blessed day. And lastly, thank you for the history channel and their mentioning of the blood eagle which made my older cousin cringe and me giggle.
