We Are Grateful For Health

Let us close our eyes so that we might see.
We are grateful for health.
We give thanks for healthy people.
We hold in our thoughts those whose health is not good.
We give thanks for nurses, doctors and hospitals trying to help improve people’s health.
We give thanks for scientists and researchers searching for cures for diseases like cancer and AIDS.
We give thanks for improvements made in healthcare coverage, it’s not perfect, but it’s getting better.
We give thanks for countries that have universal healthcare – they’re setting an example for the world.
We pray for those who don’t have healthcare, in America and around the world.
We pray for the families and friends of the 45,000 people who die every year in America for lack of healthcare.
We pray for the day when everyone will have the healthcare they need.
Forever and ever.
Let it be. So be it. And: Amen.
