Almighty one, today we lift our prayer of thanksgiving to you for the blessings and gifts seen and unseen. We thank you for the sun which courses across the sky to remind us of the precious moments that we are granted this day and every day. Grant us the wisdom and vision to see these days and moments as the true gifts that they are, guard us from being distracted by the busyness of the day and the work before us, that we might see the other beside us and you who goes with us. Bless us this day to be a blessing to others, open our hearts to go forth in love as you have called and loved us first. This we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
