Thanksgiving love across the miles
Note: This year has been difficult. We know that many of you may not be able to be with extended family during this pandemic. Through Thanksgiving, we’ll be sharing several new prayers for this Thanksgiving season. Please join us in prayer as we celebrate Thanksgiving.
Dear God of Love and Compassion,
Thank you for
life-giving bread,
beauty in nature,

air, sunshine, water, and
all nature’s resources!
Thank you for
the abundant blessings
bestowed on me
through my family and friends!
Provident God,
nothing
can separate me from YOU,
nor from my loved ones!
Omnipresent God,
link us with your love and care
when we cyber-celebrate Thanksgiving across miles!
Amen.





So true! Thank you, Norene!
I love the phrase “cyber-celebrate,” Norene. It’s much warmer than zoom celebrate or virtual celebration. Thanks!
