Gratitude & Thanksgiving Blessings

Blessings everyone~
First of all a big Thank you, welcome & ((hugs)) to all new followers here! You are all amazing!
Wishing all of you and your loved ones a blessed Thanksgiving holiday (to those of you who celebrate it) There is much I am grateful for. Last month, one of my friends had to be rushed to the hospital and had emergency surgery during Canadian Thanksgiving holiday. He was told he needed the surgery or risked death but the surgery could also have a death risk too. (Yikes) Brotha, and you know who you are =^_~= I'm so happy you are here with us! And am grateful for your friendship and transformation.

I am also including something from a previous post of mine..Lol please pardon the recycling..Its been rather crazy on my end here! ;)

Please remember to also give thanks to the animals, who nobly sacrifice themselves for us, to feed us, especially during the holiday season. So often we forget what they endure on this planet. Even though they are happy to be food for us, they do not like to be mistreated. Ask for Spirit, The Divine Creator, The Angels or Deity of your choosing to bless your food as well as the spirit of the animals.

A friend of mine shared this lovely Native American Thanksgiving Prayer and I want to share it with all of you as well.

~Cosmic Blessings, Love & Light to you and yours~

Thanksgiving

We return thanks to our mother, the Earth,
which sustains us.
We return thanks to the rivers and streams,
which supply us with water.
We return thanks to all herbs,
which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.
We return thanks to the moon and stars,
which have given to us their light when the sun was gone.
We return thanks to the sun,
that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye.
Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit,
in Whom is embodied all goodness,
and Who directs all things for the good of Her children.
