I hope you don't mind that I've doubled up on blog entries a couple of times in this past week. Here is a Thanksgiving prayer from the venerable Book of Common Prayer sent out as part of an email devotional from a spiritual reflection ministry in the States.
A Prayer of Thanksgiving
Almighty God, we give you thanks
for this life and all its blessings,
for joys great and simple,
for gifts and powers more than we deserve,
for love at the heart of your purpose
and wisdom in all your works,
for light in the world brought once in Christ
and always shining through your Spirit.
Giving thanks to you we pray
for that light to dawn upon us daily
that we may always have grateful hearts,
and a will to love and to serve you
to the end of our days.
Hear our prayer and our praises,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
AMEN
