Whatever your plans for today may be, I want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! May your day be filled with good food, good company, and good cheer!
I offer you this prayer of thanksgiving by Harriet Kofalk:
Awakening
in a moment of peace
I give thanks
to the source of all peace
as I set forth
into the day
the birds sing
with new voices
and I listen
with new ears
and give thanks
nearby
the flower called Angel’s Trumpet
blows
in the breeze
and I give thanks
my feet touch the grass
still wet with dew
and I give thanks
both to my mother earth
for sustaining my steps
and to the seas
cycling once again
to bring forth new life
the dewdrops
become jewelled
with the mornings’ sun-fire
and I give thanks
you can see forever
when the vision is clear
in this moment
each moment
I give thanks. -Harriet Kofalk
And to help you get even more into an “attitude of gratitude” on this Thanksgiving Day, I invite you to click on the link below and enjoy this very short meditative video, “Eating Gratefully,” from the Center for Spirituality in Nature:
As you enjoy your Thanksgiving meal today, you may want to take time to consider all that went into creating the meal before you. Allow your heart to be filled with deep gratitude and appreciation for nature and all it gives us.
Autumn Blessings,
Rev. Michelle
