A Thanksgiving Prayer
O God, our Father, we acknowledge Thy hand in all things and recognize; that Thou hast given unto us our loving spouses and goodly parents; that Thou hast provided home and clothing to shelter our family from the storms of life and a bounteous harvest with which to provide for our needs; that Thou hast granted unto us personal strength and charity that we might serve Thee and our neighbor, who may be sick or afflicted, poor or needy, or who may have cause to mourn; that Thou through Thine Divine Providence hast granted to us Freedom and Liberty in this great land of the United States; and, that Thou hast promised us Eternal Life with Thee through our obedience and the Atonement of thy Son, Jesus Christ. And yet, dear Father, we, Thy children, would ask that Thou wouldst grant to us one thing more… A Grateful Heart. In the blessed name of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and the Redeemer of the World. Amen.
