Happenings at Wawa First United – October 9

This Sunday is Thanksgiving, a time to reflect on all the blessings you have had in the past year. Take a moment to think, what was a blessing and what was something you thought was a trial but later found out it was good.

Here is a Thanksgiving Poem by Minnie Klemme.

Horn of Plenty

If I had a horn of plenty to fill, I would take from the field, take from the hill.

I’d not spare the garden its green and gold; I’d ask of the bee; I’d ask of the fold.

Just so does our God, who has mouths to feed-  For the world is hungry, and all have a need- 

As He gives us water and sun and air, Supplying our wants with infinite care.

I do have a horn of plenty to fill, By lending a hand and doing God’s will

All through the summer and into the fall – When the first leaf reddens, and the last geese call.

May God’s horn of plenty fill to the brim, And a day of Thanksgiving be held for Him.
