FOCUS:  Giving Thanks For Blessings

Beloved,

Giver of Blessings,
Source of Joy,
Embodiment of Grace:

We thank You for the beauty
that the eye can see,
for the joy
that the ear may hear,
for the unknown
that we cannot behold, filling the Universe with wonder,
for showing us the expanse of space
that draws us beyond the definitions of our selves.

We thank you for our spiritual families
who nurture our becoming,
For friends
who love us by choice,
For strangers
who welcome us into their midst,
For people from other lands
who call us to grow in understanding,
For children
who lighten our moments with delight and remind us of innocence
For the unborn,
who offer us hope for the future.

We thank you for teaching us to expand our hearts 

and open our minds,
For the opportunity of one more day to work towards unity and peace,
For Your grace
and one more experience of Your presence,
For Your promise to be with us,
and to deliver us to Salvation through Love.

For these, and all Blessings,
we give You thanks, Beloved.

In Your most beautiful name we pray

Amen.
