Try to see what others are thankful for; like the companionship and warmth of a family gathering; a reprieve from what may be the solitude they live daily. Or simply for a warm meal in a safe environment, things most of us take for granted.

Thank you, Father, for having created us and given us to each other in the human family. Thank you for being with us in all our joys and sorrows, for your comfort in our sadness, your companionship in our loneliness. Thank you for yesterday, today, tomorrow and for the whole of our lives. Thank you for friends, for health and for grace. May we live this and every day conscious of all that has been given to us. Amen.<\/p>\n
