A Thanksgiving Blessing

May an abundance of gratitude burst forth

as you reflect upon what you have received.

May thanksgiving overflow in your heart,

and often be proclaimed in your prayer.

May you gather around the table of your heart

the ardent faithfulness, kindness, and goodness

of each person who is true to you.

May the harvest of your good actions

bring forth plentiful fruit each day.

May you discover a cache of hidden wisdom

among the people and events

that have brought you distress and sorrow.

May your basket of blessings surprise you

with its rich diversity of gifts

and its opportunities for growth.

May all that nourishes and resources your life

bring you daily satisfaction and renewed hope.

May you slow your hurried pace of life

so you can be aware of, and enjoy,

what you too easily take for granted.

May you always be open, willing,

and ready to share your blessings with others.

May you never forget the Generous One

who loves you lavishly and unconditionally.
