Happy Thanksgiving!
If you’re called on to bless the family feast, and are lost for words, here is what I will be saying. Feel free to slice and dice to fit your needs!
A Thanksgiving Day Blessing
God - Thank you for the universe you created and all the plants, fish, and animals, including humans, placed here on this earth for your, and our, enjoyment.
We are thankful for our United States of America’s forefathers, who built the greatest country the world has ever known.
We are thankful for all the sacrifices made by our mothers, fathers, grandparents, great grandparents, and all of our ancestors native to America and those from England, Scotland, Ireland, and many, many other countries who made it possible for us to arrive at this station in life.
We are thankful for all the soldiers throughout the centuries, who have sacrificed all they had, and have, to allow us to enjoy the lives that we enjoy today.
We are thankful for our brothers, our sisters, husbands and wives, our children, grandchildren, niece, nephews, grand-niece and grand-nephews, who provide us with much happiness and provide support when we need it most.
We are thankful for our friends that help us celebrate the good times and are by our side to help us through the hard times.
We are thankful for our good, physical and mental, health.
We are thankful for the teachers and mentors who have given us the knowledge to prosper in this world and to help us become the best that we can be.
We are thankful for our business associates who work with us everyday.
We have much to be thankful for – and it all comes from you. Thank you.
In God’s name we pray - Amen
