“Sing and play music in your hearts to the Lord, always giving thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:19-20)

Good and gracious God, we set aside this day to celebrate in a special way with all  who give You thanks for your many blessings, both spiritual and physical.
You have graced us abundantly during the past year and throughout our lives.
You have given us life to enjoy and to share in service to our brothers and sisters, especially with those who are in most need of Your blessings.
And so it is fitting that we give you praise and thanks today and everyday.
We pray this in the name of Jesus, Your Son.
Amen.
