“I will give a gift of thanks to
You and call on the name of the Lord”.
Psalm 116:17
Forever on
Thanksgiving Day
The heart will find the
Pathway home.
- Wilbur D. Nesbit
An attitude of gratitude
Goes a long way when it
Comes to physical and
Emotional healing.
- Jill Bolte Taylor
Cultivate the habit of
Being grateful for every
Good thing that comes to you,
And to give thanks continuously.
And because all things have
Contributed to your advancement,
You should include all things in
Your gratitude.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Prayer for Gratitude…
Father God, I thank you for my friends
And ask that your kindness and loving mercy
Will watch over them this Thanksgiving season.
Give to each one the blessing of a new day.
And in the weeks to come,
May they experience your favor with a fresh
Awareness of your strong and faithful love.
God, sometimes life gets us down and we find
It hard to see things for which to be thankful.
Open our eyes to see the gifts you’ve freely given.
So I thank you, not just for the food on our tables,
And the blessings for this past year,
But for all the ways you have not performed
According to our liking.
For all the times you said “no” and for all the ways
You have worked in and through our lives,
Perhaps without us knowing it.
Thank you for all the unresolved issues and the
Ways we are still waiting for answers.
Thank you that you are the author of peace and
You are the lover of our souls.
Preserve us with your power that we may not slip
Into wrong desires, nor be overcome by adversity.
In all we do, direct us to the fulfilling your purpose;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
Amen.
- David Beroth
