We Give Thanks For Justice

Let us lift up our thoughts and prayers.
We give thanks for justice,
for those who work to make the world a better place.
We give thanks for charity,
for those who act compassionately toward people in need.
We give thanks for inclusion,
for those who welcome all people with open arms.
We give thanks for forgiveness,
for those who are able to replace revenge with love.
We give thanks for lifelong learning,
for those who search for truth and think for themselves.
We give thanks for community,
for those who find strength in sharing laughter – and sometimes tears – with others.
Let it be. So be it. And: Amen.
