We give thanks for the gift of life.
Even when life is challenging,
it offers possibilities in each moment.
We give thanks for the gift of community.
Even when community is problematic,
it offers comfort and support.
We give thanks for the gift of love.
Even when love seems eclipsed by fear,
it still shines through in troubled times.
Let us pause to consider the gifts
of community, life, and love.
May we open our minds to the gift of life.
May we open our arms to the gift of community.
And may we open our hearts to the gift of love,
now and always. Amen!
