A Thanksgiving Prayer

After a long drive with excited children, we would pull into Mother's driveway. Immediately, I felt relief. For the next few days of Thanksgiving, I relaxed in safety and plenty. I was home.

Mother left that home many years ago. She no longer creates perfect Thanksgivings except in memory. I still miss the feeling of total relaxation when I walked through her door and the total delight when I opened her refrigerator.

This year our children will walk through our door to celebrate Thanksgiving. May they have total relaxation and peace from being here.

In gratitude, infuse our home, our food, our hearts with love that heals and replenishes. The love I learned from my mother.
