Thanksgiving

Reflection

“Give thanks to the LORD, who is good, whose love endures forever.” –1 Chronicles 16:34

Prayer

Always good God,

May those who are gathering with friends and family today be filled with genuine joy and gratitude for the love they are privileged to share. May those who are working today, providing the care and essential services that we all rely on no matter the day—may they receive an abundance of rest and refreshment in exchange for their sacrifices. And for all those who are suffering today, grieving the absence of belonging or struggling to feel grateful, we pray that a spirit of hospitality would impel those around them to gather them in, lift up their hearts, and love and support them. With thanks to you, for your unending love and faithfulness to us, Amen.
