Wishing you and yours all the best this Thanksgiving Day.
THANKSGIVING PRAYER
Dear Lord
please hear this prayer.
This year, I'll leave an empty chair
to mark the spot
where someone should have been.
My son is home
but many sons are not;
and so I thought
I'd say a prayer for them -
and for those who wait,
hoping that it's not too late.
Lord, when you see that empty space
meant for those who haven't come home yet -
Let them know -
I didn't forget.

Musician Cliff Knizley is also offering a 2 for 1 special on his "Letters to Baghdad" CD this holiday season - if you haven't gotten one yet, pick up one for yourself, and give one to a Hero you know. You'll also be helping some you don't - proceeds from this CD are going to various military charities.
