A Thanksgiving Prayer

A Thanksgiving Prayer
“Thank you, Loving Creator, for family and friends who gather in person or in spirit around our Thanksgiving table. Thank you, Loving Creator, for being our Inner Light, our Guiding Radiance, our Unending Source of goodness. Thank you, Loving Creator, for food, shelter, clothing, and for the abundance we have beyond what we basically need. Thank you, Loving Creator, for disturbing us, challenging us, urging us by your grace to grow deeper and more whole. Thank you, Loving Creator, for the amazing gift of our life, for the complexity and beauty of the human person. Thank you, Loving Creator, for the magnificence of our universe and the nurturing gift of our planet. Thank you, Loving Creator, for so much more: sleep that restores, prayer that strengthens, friendship that comforts, laughter that releases, tears that heal, hearts and bodies that mend, minds that find meaning, arms that embrace.” -  Joyce Rupp
