Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!

Thursday November 22, 2018

Thanksgiving is a day when gratitude is a household theme. A place to gather becomes a home, a meal with family and friends becomes a feast, and it is a day when God is a guest at our table. May we be blessed with thankfulness
for the bounty of divine gifts.

For the expanding grandeur of Creation, this fragile planet earth, its times and tides, its sunsets and seasons: We give thanks For human community, our common past and future hope, our oneness transcending all separation, our capacity to
work for peace and justice in the midst of hostility and oppression: We give thanks For high hopes and noble causes, for faith without fanaticism, for understanding of views not shared: We give thanks For all who have labored and suffered for a fairer world, who have lived so that others might live in dignity and freedom: We give thanks For human liberties and sacred rites, for opportunities to change and grow, to affirm and choose: We give thanks We pray that we may live not by our fears
but by our hopes, not by our words but by our deeds, not in scarcity but in abundance: Amen

THANKFUL LYRICS

Somedays, we forget to look around us
Somedays, we can't see the joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give
So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us, to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for
Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way to late to say, I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue
So for tonight we pray for

What we know can be
And everyday, we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us, to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for
Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each others light
So for tonight, we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day, we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us, to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more
There's so much to be thankful for

Songwriters: David W Foster / Richard James Page / Carole Bayer Sager

Psalm 107:8-9 Let's give thanks for the Lord's unfailing love and wondrous deeds. We are satisfied when we are thirsty and filled with tasty delights when we are hungry.
