One way to say thanks on Thanksgiving Day

Our friend Tom FitzGerald sends out this poem every Thanksgiving, and we are always thankful that he does. It's by Marian Wright Edelman.

God, we thank You for this food
for the hands that planted it
for the hands that tended it
for the hands that harvested it
for the hands that prepared it
for the hands that provided it
and for the hands that served it.
And we pray for those without enough food
in Your world and in our land of plenty.
