Thanksgiving isn't only about sharing a wonderful meal with your loved ones, it is also a time to meditate on all you are grateful for. This practice of expressing gratitude is not limited to any particular religious tradition. Here’s one prayer of gratitude from Beliefnet that I would like to share with you.  I wish us all a wonderful Thanksgiving day with our loved-ones.

We gather today, Lord of abundant life, as grateful children.

Delighted and humbled by our bounty,

we celebrate gifts of food and shelter,

of colors that dance at dawn and dusk;

we relish the scent of cooking foods,

of burning leaves and summer's wet grass,

of snowflake, of animal fur.

We marvel at the intricacy of spiders' webs and fish bones,

newborn babies and lines etched on faces of grandparents come for a visit today.

All gifts from Your hand.

When our meal is completed, leftovers stashed, and naps taken,

we will leave replete, energized, and eager to go generously into the world

and share our good fortune.
