I\u2019ve seen the following Thanksgiving Day prayer by Samuel Pugh in various places over the years, so I\u2019m posting it here as well if you need one for around the family table this holiday: <\/p>\n
\u201cO God, when I have food,
\nhelp me to remember the hungry;
\nWhen I have work,
\nhelp me to remember the jobless;
\nWhen I have a home,
\nhelp me to remember those who have no home at all;
\nWhen I am without pain,
\nhelp me to remember those who suffer,
\nAnd remembering,
\nhelp me to destroy my complacency;
\nbestir my compassion,
\nand be concerned enough to help;
\nBy word and deed,
\nthose who cry out for what we take for granted.
\nAmen.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019ve seen the following Thanksgiving Day prayer by Samuel Pugh in various places over the years, so I\u2019m posting it here as well if you need one for around the family table this holiday: \u201cO God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry; When I have work, help me to remember the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":488,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,32],"tags":[117,106],"class_list":["post-1933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-holidays","category-prayer","tag-holidays","tag-prayer"],"yoast_head":"\n
