Jan Morgan was an employee of the Cherokee Nation for more than 15 years. She passed away this year, but this Holiday Season we remember her, especially for her kind words at Thanksgiving. She shared this prayer with on Thanksgiving, and we feel it is appropriate to share with the Cherokee Nation this weekend.

A THANKSGIVING PRAYER FOR YOU...FROM ME

Kind Heavenly Father I humbly thank God for my life, it is such a precious gift--for His mercy and loving kindness, for the ability to help others---hopefully with a Smile, for the knowledge that illness gives---every morning when we wake to see another day--we should give thanks to God immediately, and learning how to make the best of a situation, if God be for us--who can be against us, for the power of speech in these great United States, for any blessings that may have slipped my memory, May the spirit of Thanksgiving be catching to those around me...may we give abundant thanks for the things we do have and certainly for some of the things we DO NOT have...and most of all---for my co-workers who have become my family...I thank God for each and everyone.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!
