A Thanksgiving Prayer
This would have made a great Thanksgiving blessing. This was in the service today at First Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbus:
As we move through this year of transition and joy, we remember with gratitude the power of our living heritage which moves through time like a clear running creek, refreshing us with the sweet draughts of courage, hope, justice-making, peaceful living, ever deeper honesty, and more truthful loving. And so, we kindle this light in thanksgiving.
At this point in the service, they light a flaming chalice. Pretty neat, I think.
