Happy Thanksgiving from Rachel & Greg!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As the country prepares to spend time in reflection with friends and family, we wanted to share the prayer that will be said with our family at the table this evening. It is our wish that this season of gratitude and joy is not relegated to a specific time or season, but continues to becomes a more habitual way of life. Blessings from our house to yours!

O Gracious God, we give you thanks for your overflowing generosity. Thank you for the blessings of the food we eat and for this feast today. Thank you for our home and family, especially for the presence of those gathered here. Thank you for our health, our work and our play. Thank you for friends, for health and for grace. Thank you for being with us in all our joys and sorrows, for your comfort in our sadness, your companionship in our loneliness. Thank you for yesterday, today, tomorrow and for the whole of our lives.  Please send help to those who are hungry, alone, sick and suffering war and violence. Open our hearts to your love. And may we live this and every day conscious of all that has been given to us. Amen.
