Almighty and gracious Father,
we give You thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season
and for the labors of those who harvest them.
Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of Your great bounty,
for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need,
to the glory of Your name; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen.

I love this. Think I need a copy of this near my table. Thanks for sharing your table and all your bounty with us this weekend. We treasure you all.
What a great idea, Sis. It was our complete joy! Love you so.
What a fun photo Ashley! I love some of those old Anglican prayers…thanks for sharing this one! xo
Beautiful prayers. I think I need to get the Book of Common Prayer. L’Engle writes often of them, and the language is so glorious.
Perfect and Beautiful for this Gratitude Time! Praise God for our Bounties!!! Much Love and a Very Happy Thanksgiving to you, Mike and your Special Girls :D
Thank you, dear, and happy Thanksgiving to you, too, friend! I read your words about your mama and your Thanksgiving celebration…sounds like you had an incredibly meaningful holiday. Much love to you and yours.
Thank you .:)
Happy to see you here, Deb. xoxo
