The Day After Thanksgiving
‘Twas the day after Thanksgiving and all through the country
Were people up early for their bargain hunting
The sales were priced so no one could compete
And people didn’t seem to mind missing their sleep
When all of a sudden, store signs turned to open
The shoppers rushed in just a-pushin’ and hopin’
To get that one item they’d stood all night for
The one they could only get right in that store
Were these all items they needed to buy?
Some were; some were not. They just wanted them. Why?
Have we forgotten the day we just had
The one where we said we were thankful and glad?
Or has “thanks” lost its meaning as the day slipped away?
We’re now back to buying whatever we crave
I somehow don’t think this is what God intended
It’s all right to shop but don’t be discontented
A new day has dawned and our God is still good
His mercies are new if we just understood
Now’s not the time to stop giving Him thanks
Let’s thank Him some more for He’s worthy of praise
Sony,
Wonderful and beautiful – perfect follow-up to yesterday’s message.
BTW, I have included your Turkey Day “thoughts” within a message I wrote yesterday which’ll post on our Home Page in next day or so.
