We come...
to this table today,
O Lord, humble and
thankful and glad.
We thank Thee first for the
great miracle of life,
for the exaltation of being human,
for the capacity of love.
We thank Thee for joys both
great and simple,
For wonder, dreams and hope;
for the
newness of each day;
For laughter and song and a merry heart;
For compassion waiting within
to be kindled;
For the forbearance of friends and the
smile of a stranger;
For the arching of the earth and trees and heavens and the fruit of all three;
For the wisdom of the old;
For the courage of the young;
For the promise of the child;
For the strength that comes when needed;
For this family united here today,
of those to whom much is given,
much is required.
May we and our children remember this.
In The Name Of The Father,
Amen.
Happy Thanksgiving To One and All!
