Thanksgiving

At the table today, will it be a toast or prayer that kicks off the meal? Or both in one?

Tonight . . . we are thankful for and toast to . . . life.

For absent friends and family. For those here.

For our many blessings.

For shelter, for the food we eat, for the laughter of children, for courage, for God's grace.

For freedom, for  love, for kindness. For forgiveness. For joy.

For hope.

We give thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving!
