A Table Grace for Thanksgiving
This table grace has been my companion for a few years now. If it is helpful for you, I welcome you to use it – just the first stanza, or several. The leader can say the first three lines, and everyone can join on the fourth line, We give thanks with all our heart.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
For this breath, for this heartbeat
For this meal with these companions
For the web of life of which we’re part
We give thanks with all our heart.
For sun and rain, for soil and season,
For ocean, mountain, forest, meadow,
For the web of life of which we’re part
We give thanks with all our heart.
For all to whom this food connects us
From field and farm to store and table
For the web of life of which we’re part
We give thanks with all our heart.
For bread and wine upon this table
For this deep mystical communion
For the web of life of which we’re part
We give thanks with all our heart.
