General Thanksgiving
Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.

I trust your Thanksgiving was filled with joy and constant reminders of your blessings.
I am thankful for you and all the brothers and sisters I have come to know in the blogosphere!
Bob, Preacherman and Allan,
Hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving and have a restful, good weekend. Our big dinner is today. And we all have so much to be thankful for; I pray we might express that from the heart today, and I might grow in giving thanks with a grateful heart.
