THANKSGIVING PRAYER

             

Most generous and gracious Father,

we come today in humble thanksgiving.        

We ask nothing from you because we

 know that without our asking you

 provide all that we need to live and be happy

 in this world.  On this special day

of Thanksgiving we express our gratitude

for all our blessings.  In particular

We thank you for our very lives,

for the love we have known,

for the strength to endure pain and grief,

for the freedoms we enjoy,

for the glories of nature,

for the warmth of our family,

for the good that is in people,

for the challenges of every day life,

for the capability of the human mind to improve life,

for our faith which guides us through all of our experiences,   

and most especially, Lord, we thank you for your

continuing love and presence in our lives. Amen
