The Lighter Side (Nov 2011)

Thanksgiving-Themed Movies

 
To kill a walking bird
 
My best friend's dressing
 
The Texas coleslaw massacre
 
Casserolablanca
 
The fabulous baster boys
 
12 hungry men
 
Silence of the yams
 
For the love of the game hen
 
I know what you ate last winter
 
All the president's menu
 
White meat can't jump
 
When Harry met salad
 
The story of U.S.
 
The wing and I
 

 

A Thanksgiving Prayer

 
Let us give thanks to God above,
Thanks for expressions of His love.
Seen in the book of nature grand,

Taught by His love on every hand.

Let us be thankful for the land,
That will for such religion stand.
One that protects it by the law,
One that before it stands in awe.
 
Thankful for all things let us be,
Though there be woes and misery;
Lessons they bring us for our good-

Later 'twill all be understood.

Thankful for friends and loved ones too,
Thankful for all things, good and true,
Thankful for harvest in the fall,
Thankful to Him who gave it all.
