Thanksgiving through time . . .

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food,

For love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Mr. Emerson wrote this in the 19th century - my great grandparents would have been alive in this time frame - the same could be written today in the 21st century --
