Thanksgiving Day

Almighty God, whose gifts to us cannot even be measured and whose goodness to us leaves us amazed, we offer to you today our most heartfelt gratitude and thanksgiving.  We recognize you as the source of all creation and the ground of being.  Without you there is nothing: in you there is everything!  The world is filled with the wonder of your beauty and love.  We stand in awe before your creative genius.  Words fail us when we try to express how much we need you and how thankful we are that you love us so deeply that you have provided for our every need.  Thank you for our families; thank you for our nation of freedom; thank you especially for revealing yourself to us when we were lost and hopeless!  Praise be to you forever and forever.  Amen.
