Happy Thanksgiving



For All that You Give Us

Dear Lord,

On this Thanksgiving Day,

we are thankful

for all that You give us,

for all that You do for us,

for all that You teach us.

Thank You for guiding us

to live our lives

in Your will,

in Your purpose,

in Your plan for us.

Thank You for Your protection

from worldly influence and danger.

Thank You for bringing us gently

to a deeper knowledge of You

and what You want from us,

with Your love, mercy,

compassion and grace.

And thank you, Lord,

for the blessings

we are experiencing right now

at this very moment--

the food,

and the precious people

who are with us

to enjoy this meal

and this day.

Thank You, Lord. Amen.
