Make us Truly Thankful For the rich abundance of the land we live, For the golden har- vests, its mighty resources, Its fruitful fields and forests... For the freedom we enjoy... The freedom to speak in praise or criticism, To practice our faith without fear. For the opportunity to grow, To succeed through effort and prosper through work, To broaden and strengthen our lives through imagination and faith...For all these things, that so abundantly enrich ourlives... Make us Truly Thankful! You can count the apples on a tree, but you cannot count the trees in an apple.
