Everyday Thanksgivings, A Prayer by the Rev. Dr. David Long-Higgins
Loving God,
For the gift of a new day
I give You thanks
For breath of body
I give You thanks
For silence of soul
I give You thanks
For work that matters
I give You thanks
For blessed memories
I give You thanks
For little delights
I give You thanks
For a family of love
I give You thanks
For the gift of difference
I give You thanks
For a body to inhabit
I give You thanks
For Your present presence
I give You thanks
I give You thanks
For the tear that tugs
I give You thanks
For the radiant smile
I give you thanks
For questions of youth
I give you thanks
For wisdom's weight
I give You thanks
For your Eternal embrace
I give You thanks
O Love,
May nothing of this day
Pass before me
Without thanks
And praise of You.
