Dear God,
I want to pause this Thanksgiving Day and thank you for the blessings surrounding me. For another day, for family, friends, for food on the table.
You are the source of all good things and we praise you for the simple things that bring us joy. Help us keep our eyes on you so our lives may be filled with praise and joy. Lord, thank you for life and laughter, health and happiness, relationships and memories.
Thank you, too, for the lessons learned and the tears we’ve cried because of Your ability to grow us through them. Thank you for your comfort and presence in the good days and the bad. Thank you for what we have now, what we had yesterday, and what You will continue to give us tomorrow.
Let us never take that for granted, but to always be grateful for every good and perfect gift that comes from You. May we have hearts full of Thanksgiving to You today and every day of our lives.
In Jesus name, Amen.
