May we begin and end this day thankful for all the many gifts we have received, O God. Let us be giving of ourselves and looks for opportunities to serve others. Each day gives us a choice of what kind of attitude we will have as we interact with others. May we make the choice to be welcoming and loving. Let us set an example to others of the kind of love to which we are called. May we find this day filled with laughter, joy and blessings. Amen
