Litany for Thanksgiving 2016

For the world we have before us, for its wonders, gifts, and sorrows; for it is home for us:

Let us give thanks.

For the people of the world, its nations, tribes, clans, and destinies; for the children, women and men who enrich our lives and those friends we have yet to meet:

Let us give thanks.

For this country and all the people in it, for the hope that sustains us, and the civility that can guide our common life:

Let us give thanks.

For the gift of the night, for preparedness for tomorrow, for anxiety and fear and the hope and courage that overcome them:

Let us give thanks.

For each other, for ourselves:

Let us give thanks.

For forgiveness and love:

Let us give thanks.
