Cherished friends, family, and guests,
As we gather together to feast, socialize, reminisce, and
celebrate, may we appreciate our own family and friends and remember those who
are alone and those who have passed on before us.
May we appreciate our health and remember those who are
not well.
May we appreciate the freedoms we have and honor those
who safeguard those freedoms.
Earth’s gifts are precious, so may this food and those
people who prepared and provided it be blessed.
We receive this food in gratitude to all who have helped to bring it to
our table.
May we all appreciate the blessings of this food,
friendship, and the spirit of this festive occasion and preserve the spirit of
gratitude in our words and deeds.
