With Thanksgiving this week, we each think of all the good things in our lives, as we partake in wonderful food and mutual comfort. Here is a prayer that appreciates all that goes into the making of the precious food we eat:
“When we eat the good bread,
we are eating months of sunlight,
weeks of rain and snow from the sky,
richness out of the earth.
We should be great, each of us radiant,
full of music and full of stories.
Able to run the way clouds do, able to
dance like the snow and the rain.
But nobody takes time to think that he eats all
these things and that sun, rain,
snow are all part of himself.”
— Monica Shannon (1905 – 1965)
What prayer of thanks will you be giving this week for your own thanksgiving?
Please share with us.
