Prayers
Of
Thanks

When we thank someone, something happens. The receiver gets the gift of thanks, but the giver is also changed by the act of thanking. How many times have I heard a parent saying to a child “What do you say?” and the kid grumpily replies “thank you” with utter umbrage. If only they knew… something a bit magical happens when we speak words of gratitude… something lovely and inexplicable.

To Have Grace

To have grace
To be thankful
To be alive…
These are the gifts
And they are beautiful

To know peace
To be calm
To have compassion…
This is the path
To perfect understanding

May we share grace
And be thankful
Celebrate life in freedom
Joyfully…
Under the sun,
The moon and the stars
Radiant…
In the light of universal love
Amen
