A Thanksgiving Prayer (11.27.14)

O Lord GOD, 
From whom comes every good and perfect gift,
we give You hearty thanks for Your love,
Your grace and the tender mercies you have showered upon us.

We praise you for everything, whether joyful or sorrow,
that brings us closer to You and to our brothers and sisters here on Earth.

You created us to give You glory.
Help us to manifest our love and thanksgiving
by treating one another with respect and kindness,
loving one another as you have taught us to do
and give us the passion to help those who struggle
to have the necessities of life.

We pray that as we celebrate this season,
we never forget all that has come from You.

Lord, thank you for having mercy on us and our families
by giving us travelling mercies as we visit loved ones.

Keep us safe as we travel and enjoy each others company.   

We give special thanks for the fruits of Your earth,
the delicious food we are about to eat
and especially for all the family and friends
gathered here to share in this day.

Oh Lord, bless us and keep us,
make your face to shine upon us
and give us grace, this day and forever more.

In the name of your precious son JESUS Christ!

Amen
