We Give Thanks

We give thanks to our God.

for all the earth and all creation.

That are wonderfully made

and held dear in the heart of our God.

We give thanks for our friends

and for our families.

For those we love, 

those who love us

and for those without love, 

because we can love them.

We give thanks for the food we eat

and for the ability to feed those without food.

We give thanks thanks for our life :

that we have it;

that it goes beyond our death.

We give thanks for our freedoms

and the freedom to choose our own attitude

no matter what our circumstances.

We are thankful for our health

and pray for those without health

that they might be strong

in mind and soul if not in body,

and we pray that they

might share their strength of spirit with us

as we share our strengthof body with them.

We give thanks for the abiility to serve

and to reap the benefits of our service.

for all good things,

We give You thanks, oh God.
