A Thanksgiving Prayer:

Our heavenly father, we thank you for the abundant food we are about to enjoy. We know this food is provided to meet our needs for nutrition, but we also acknowledge this food lives and grows because of your sunlight, your rich gardens. We acknowledge that you have planted more in this food than nutrition. We know that you have planted love and goodness, and that as our body enjoys this food, our spirits are nourshied also. We also know that in many parts of the world, the simple need for food and water go unmet, and that others do not have the table of food that we are about to enjoy. So, we would all like to dedicate the energy from this food today to doing our part to help those people in the world who do not yet have their needs met for food and water. We ask that in the upcoming days, weeks, months or years, that you give us an opportunity to use this energy from today's food in helping that cause. I figure, depending on how much we eat, that we will get about 4 - 6 hours each of nutrition and fuel. We ask that you show us what we can do to help those who are not yet fed, that you show us where and how to use that 4 - 6 hours of energy to help the unfed people in the world. You may take whatever you like toward this cause, be it 4 - 6 hours of our income, 4 - 6 hours of our time, 4 - 6 hours of our creativity to help solve hunger problems in this world. And, for those of us that eat the pie, add an extra hour or so. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Beauty Tips
by Audrey Hepburn

For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his fingers through it once a day.

For poise,
Walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody.

Remember: if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find One at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
