The Eight Gifts....A prayer of Thanksgiving

by Katherine DeMille

Thank you Lord for Understanding
For this helps me to see
That I have no right to judge
For none are worse than me

Thank you for your Tolerance
In accepting who I am
It's taught me to accept each person
Woman, child, and man

Thank you for your Truth my God
In the Gospels of your Book
I strive to speak the truth now
In action, word, and look

Thank you for your Patince
In my reoccuring sin
Please teach me to be patient
And see the soul within

Thank you for your Forgiveness
For it teaches me to see
Not only how to forgive another
But also t forgive me

Thank you for your Kindness Lord
In your great gifts of life
Let us be kind to one another
Thus ending hate and strife

Thank you for your great great Love
In giving us your Son
Who teaches us the way of life
That we may all be one.

Thank you for the gift of Praise
That lets us say to you
Glory to You Lord, and Jesus the Christ
Sing praises...Allehllu!!!!
