Prayer of Thanksgiving

God of abundant generosity, source of all blessing, we give you thanks for this special celebration of Thanksgiving: a cherished day to be with family and friends around the table of the Lord and around the family table. We have much to be thankful for—loving relationships, good health, meaningful work and time for play. Bless all those who do not enjoy these pleasures, especially the poor, sick, and lonely. May we share what we have been given with others, mindful that all that is good comes from You.
Please accept our feelings of gratitude and make those feelings our prayer of thanksgiving. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Christ, and through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Happy Thanksgiving Sharon and Ben
