The day after Thanksgiving...
Forgive us, Lord,
for yesterday's over-indulgence
and teach us at the same time
not to waste what's ours in abundance
or hoard the goods
that others need so much...
As we plan and shop for Christmas
make us grateful for the bounty
we already count as ours
and mindful of the needs
of our neighbors near and far...
with open hearts and wallets
to those who truly need a share
of all we have aplenty,
of all that's ours to share...
Help us find the deeper meaning
in the days that lie ahead:
what's holy, healing, helpful,
what makes us truly happy
in the gift you are for us
and in our giving of ourselves...
Amen.
