“Praise and thanksgiving be to God our maker, source of all blessing, prodigal creator.”
In this Season of Gratitude, we give thanks.
Thank you, God! You are the source of every blessing. You create us in abundance of love, abundance of abilities.
Thank you, God, for all those in our Armed Forces. For veterans who gave of themselves serving with honor and integrity, fortitude and resilience. For those who serve today at home and across the globe, in air, on land and sea, and under the sea, on front lines and behind the scenes, in all the many roles required. We give thanks for their dedication and willingness to serve. Give them your grace and strength.
Thank you, God, for creating us good and gracing us each with talents, skills, and strengths. Grant that we may use them wisely and generously in service of your love, in and for the world.
Amen.
