Weekly Pause and Ponder

Dear Lord,

Today we give thanks

For our many blessings,

As we pray for those in need.

We give thanks

For our family and friends

As we pray for those who are lonely.

We give thanks for our freedoms

As we pray for those who are oppressed.

We give thanks for our good health

As we pray for those who are ill.

We give thanks for our comfort and prosperity

As we share our blessings with others.

On this day of Thanksgiving,

May the love of God enfold us

The peace of God dwell within us

And the joy of God uplift us.

Amen.
