May you be embraced by a bounty of fellowship,

and extend welcome to the lonely and lost.

 

May you delight in the goodness of conversation 

and laughter,

and listen deeply to the marginalized.

 

May you be granted wisdom in stressful encounters,

and remain centered in a 

mindset of peace and harmony.

 

May you feast from the goodness of the earth,

and share with the hungry.

 

May you acknowledge abundant blessing,

and be empowered to live a life of gratitude.

 

May you feel the holy presence of God,

and make the love of Christ evident 

in thought, word and deed.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
