The Meaning of Thanksgiving

by

This Thanksgiving prayer is posted here at Providence Hospitals for our employees, visitors and patients. It is one that guides us all to reflect on the many blessings we have in our lives.

Thanksgiving is…

Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude to God,
our Creator and Provider,
whose guidance and care go before us
and whose love is with us forever.

Thanksgiving is a time
to reflect on the changes
to remember that we, too, grow and change
from one season of life to another.

Thanksgiving is a time of changing seasons,
when leaves turn golden in Autumn’s wake
and apples are crisp
in the first chill breezes of fall.

Let us remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
As we see the beauty of Autumn, let us acknowledge the many blessings which are ours,
let us think of our families and friends,
and let us give thanks in our hearts.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!
