A THANKSGIVING BLESSING
Loving God,
On this day of Thanksgiving, we pray:
Make us a pilgrim people, who journey to a place of promise and of hope.
Make us a native people, who welcome the stranger to our table, to our family, and to our hearts;
Make us a people who hunger, that we might remember those in need.
Make us a people who feast, that we might taste the rich diversity of life.
Make us a people of blessing and thanks: for family and friends who surround us, and those who are far away; for our nation and all its gifts of freedom and law; for the food we share at this table, and the hands that have prepared it, and for Your grace, O God, which opens our hearts and changes our lives.
We give thanks, always. AMEN.
