Thanksgiving is our best holiday
We are grateful,
We use this time to take stock of our blessings
before the winter months.

And our blessings are many -
Family, friends gathered around
blood coursing through our veins
food here to nourish us
a warm place to share communion
A chance to make memories
as good as those that have made us.

So let's give thanks,
take a moment to hold and squeeze hands
before we eat, and talk and part
Let our full bellies make us strong
so we might share this nourishing love with others
and live happily until we gather again.
