Thank you, loving God, for all the many blessings you have given us. We are blessed with family and friends that love and support us. Most of us have more than we need and are fortunate enough to be able to give to the needs of others. Help us to remember that when we are tempted to treat people as other and instead to treat them as the beloved child of God that you expect of us. May we be acutely aware and responsive to the needs of those around us. Give us hearts that are grateful for all we have and can do in your name. Amen
