Happy Thanksgiving

Dear God, in this season of harvest,surrounded by the bounty and blessings of the earth, we pause and remember all You have given us. Thank You!

Please pour out Your mercy and grace this Thanksgiving upon the less fortunate, and help us remember that we are all one body—one nation—under You, called to love, respect, and serve one another, especially the poor and disadvantaged, in whom You are present among us.

O give thanks to the God of heaven,
For his steadfast love endures forever.

-Psalm 136:26
