Dear Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night I received a phone call re a gentleman to went to a Walmart in Farmington, NM yesterday to purchase needed items on reservation near there. I was told that he stood in line for 1 \u00bd hours to get in, and then the shelves were empty. I have recently read of people sitting in food lines for 12 hours to obtain food for their families.—and I could go on and on but I imagine most of you are aware of these situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My question is, \u201cDo we take our blessings for granted?\u201d We can never list all of the blessings that the Lord has poured out on us and I hope that we will all keep this in mind not just today, but every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am including this Thanksgiving prayer for I think it is so appropriate. It is my prayer  that it will be a reminder and a blessing to all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From all of us here at Fairhaven, we wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong><\/a> Thanksgiving Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samuel F. Pugh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

“O God, when I have food,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

help me to remember the hungry;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I have work,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

help me to remember the jobless;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I have a home,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

help me to remember those who have no home at all;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I am without pain,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

help me to remember those who suffer,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remembering,<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

help me to destroy my complacency;<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

bestir my compassion,<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and be concerned enough to help;<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By word and deed,<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

those who cry out for what we take for granted.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
