Thursday, November 23, 2023:
Pause. Pray. Read. Be still. Write. Pray. Go about your day or turn in for the night.
Read: 1 Timothy 4: 4-5
Be Still: Share stories today of your favorite thanksgiving memory and give thanks for all you receive on this day.
Pray: Holy One, you are the God of grace and mercy, let us walk into your arms this Thanksgiving Day to be a cause for delight and love to all we serve and encounter. We give you thanks for the light and love you spread through your people and across creation in ways we may never see or know. Yet, we admit, O God, for all that we give thanks to you during 2023, your people are tired of the world’s turmoil, so we pray for your blessings to fall upon your people today both near and far. For all who gather to celebrate whether in small ways, or in large ways, and for those who are without. May all your people be fed, comforted, and cared for, by your loving embrace today. Amen.
