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 what's ours already:
keep us mindful of others' basic needs,
and tempt us to be generous
in opening our hearts and wallets
to those who truly need a share
of all we have
and all we have 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.
