A Thanksgiving Prayer

Help me to give other people something to be thankful for:

By being generous to them when I am sad.

By being patient with them when I am tired.

By encouraging them when I am feeling low.

Most of all, draw me closer to your Son. During his time on earth, Jesus saw people who were hungry, visited people who were sick and wept over the death of his friend Lazarus. He entered a world of illness, suffering and death, so he understands what we are going through—not only because he is divine and knows all things, but because he is human and experienced all things.

So on Thanksgiving this year, teach me to be thankful, Almighty God.

And one more thing, God:

Hurry up with those vaccines.

Be safe and well,

Thank you for sharing the beautiful card and beautiful words. Sometimes it"s hard to remember we have so much to be thankful for and to share what we do have.

Happy Thanksgiving!
