Good morning, good God!
Thanksgiving’s
just a few days away, Lord, and I want
to be ready on Thursday to thank you
for all I have, especially what I have in abundance, all from your generous hands: Iwant to
remember the ways you’ve
helped me since last Thanksgiving, just a year ago…

remember the ways you’ve

Help me remember,
Lord, all the times when your
strength, not my own, helped me
through my really rough patches…
Help me
remember how, in your faithful
love, you never abandoned or
left me alone…
Help me
remember the gift of
your mercy and pardon each time
I strayed from your grace…
Help me
remember how each time
I prayed you were right there, ready to hear me…
Help me
remember you were there with your strength when just one more step seemed impossible…
Help me
remember the pain I endured, the hurt I survived and the healing your grace provided…
Help me
remember, Lord, the people
who love and care for me: family and
friends, colleagues and neighbors near and far and right next door…

Help me
remember, Lord, the people
who love and care for me: family and
friends, colleagues and neighbors near and far and right next door…
Help me
remember as gifts the things I often feel entitled to: good food and
clean water, warm clothing, a place to live, safety, liberty and freedom…
Help me
remember, Lord, all who
serve, protect and care for me, especially those whose names
I do not know…
Help me
remember and be
grateful for my vision,
my hearing, my sense of touch and all the
good and beautiful things I experience through my senses…
Help me
remember what I take
for granted, and open my
eyes to blessing and gifts I haven’t used – or don’t yet know are mine…
Help me
remember that every
good gift comes from you, my God: from your hand to mine, from
your heart to mine – and all to be
shared with others…
Help me
remember and never
forget how many are my reasons for thanking you and praising you again and again and again…
Come this Thursday, Lord, help me
remember (between the turkey and the football games) help me remember to thank you for all the gifts and blessings I’ve been privileged to receive…
This morning, on Thursday and every day this week I offer you thanks, my God, from whom all blessings flow…
Amen.
