Prayer for Thanksgiving Day

Lord, we thank you for this special day when we bow our heads in thanksgiving and consider our many blessings.
We thank you for our health and our homes, and the beauty all around us.
We thank you for answering our prayers, and for knowing what we need even before we ask.
Most of all, we thank you for surrounding us with the gifts of family and friends–for their laughter, trust, and love.
Please bless those who can’t be with us yet remain close to our hearts, and continue to bless and protect us all.
This is our loving prayer to You on this Thanksgiving Day.
Amen
