Of prayer, and Thanksgiving

We set a table, here within our hearts,

inviting those we love, 

and those we know who need our prayers

and offer up our thanks

for all the grace that fills our lives

and lay before your feet

the hungers of the world, not just our own,

and bow our heads in sadness

for the losses we and others have sustained,

and for the opportunities to help that we've ignored,

then drink again your ever-present wine:

the wine of grace, of forgiveness, and love.
