A Thanksgiving prayer before feasting
Happy Thanksgiving, blog friends. I'm grateful for the conversations we've held here for the last eleven + years, and for all the ways I've learned from this community.
I recently discovered (via the Victoria Emily Jones' treasure of a blog, Art & Theology) the beautiful prayers written by Douglas McElvey. The good crew at the Rabbit Room have collected 100 of McElvey's prayers for everyday realities and occasions into a book that can be ordered here. They've also made a few prayers available for free download, including this rich liturgy offered before feasting with friends.
Whether you are celebrating this week with friends or family, may you know the truth that all will be well.
