A Thanksgiving Prayer

Almighty God, who gives to all life and breath and brings forth food from the earth by the hand of the farmer, keep us in the palm of your hand when this world in all its wonder and glory fades away. Grant that we may so use the fruits of the ground, along with all the other blessings by which you crown the year, prudently. May we either abuse nor undervalue them in all our busyness and worry. Good Lord, bless us with all your gifts that we receive from your bounteous liberality. May we learn from you generosity of heart and mind that we readily reach out to others like you reach out to us. We ask this in Jesus name. AMEN.


Happy Thanksgiving!  May your day be blessed! 😊
