A thanksgiving prayer
We give thanks for each and everyone of you, and for the gifts and goodness of our God. Today on this U.S. national holiday of Thanksgiving, we offer this prayer written by an Omaha Native American.

O Divine Gift-giver,
I stand beneath the endless waterfall of your abundant gifts to me.
I thank you especially for the blessing of life, the most precious of all your gifts to me.
I thank you, Ever-generous One,
for clothing to wear,
for food and drink to nourish my body,
for all the talents and skills
that you have bestowed upon me.
I thank you for the many joys of my life,
for family and friends,
for work that gives to me a sense of purpose
and invests my life with meaning.
I thank you as well
for the sufferings and trials of my life
which are also gifts
and which together with my mistakes
are among my most important teachers.
Grant that I may never greet a new day
without the awareness of some gift
for which to give you thanks.
And may constant thanksgiving
be my song of perpetual praise to you.
from the book Prayers for a Planetary Pilgrim (on Amazon)

Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for the prayer. I particularly like the section on being grateful for my trials and mistakes
I never thought of them this way. Still it is so true.
