    A Thanksgiving prayer from a Dear Abbey column:

      

    “Father and Mother of all:

    We give thanks for food and remember the hungry,

    We give thanks for health and remember the sick,

    We give thanks for friends and remember the friendless,

    We give thanks for freedom and remember the enslaved.

    May our giving thanks stir us to service, that our blessings may be shared with others. Amen.”

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.
