"Father, thank you for a life partner, children, family, friends and a church that have enriched my life beyond measure. Thank you for the hard or difficult times we've had this year and the reminder of your never-ending presence regardless of those circumstances. For those who've lost loved ones in war, tragedy or by illness this year bring your comfort and peace. Strengthen the hands and heart of your church for many are tired and weary from battling the pains and problems of life. Remind all of us that in this season of gratitude Advent dawns and therein lies our hope. In fact the hope of the world. Come Lord Jesus, come quickly!"

May you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving.
