A Thanksgiving Blessing
This blessing expresses our deep wish for each of you this wonderful Thanksgiving Season. Whether you are with friends, family or in the solitude of your own heart, we are giving thanks for you and with you.
A Thanksgiving Blessing
May an abundance of gratitude burst forth
as you reflect upon what you have received.
May thanksgiving overflow in your heart,
and often be proclaimed in your prayer.
May you gather around the table of your heart
the ardent faithfulness, kindness, and goodness of each person who is true to you.
May the harvest of your good actions
bring forth plentiful fruit each day.
May you discover a cache of hidden wisdom
among the people and events that have brought you distress and sorrow.
May your basket of blessings surprise you with its rich diversity
of gifts and its opportunities for growth.
May all that nourishes and resources you life
bring you daily satisfaction and renewed hope.
May you slow your hurried pace of life
so you can be aware of, and enjoy, what you too easily take for granted.
May you always be open, willing,
and ready to share your blessings with others.
May you never forget the Generous One
who loves you lavishly and unconditionally.
