Collect of Thanksgiving Day
Almighty and gracious Father, we give you thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them. Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
For Peace Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Hope you're feeling a little better today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lapin. I feel better today, but I'm not up to joining the family for the feast. I'm having a quiet day. Anyway, Christmas is just around the corner.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Mimi, and I'm sorry you didn't get to join in the feast :(
ReplyDeleteI feel much better today, but I couldn't bring myself to be around the food and food smells. All I've eaten today is toast and a few dry Cheerios, and that was all I wanted. My drinks were water, tea, and Gatorade.
DeleteRENZ, what a lovely thing to say. I'm grateful for you and my other internet connections in a way that I would never have imagined just a few years ago. It's rather amazing, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
