Prayer
Everlasting God, to you we owe gratitude and praise for blessings we have received in abundance, and we express our gratitude now in these moments of prayer. Help us however, to not simply voice our appreciation, but to live our daily lives with a spirit of gratitude. Visit with us in spirit as we partake of food, share in conversation and become energized again to serve others. Thank you for your goodness toward us. Amen.
