“And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table...” Luke 16:20-21
Key thought:
So many communities suffer from chronic hunger—and could be fed with the food we collectively waste every day.
Suggested practice:
If you can, make a monetary or in-kind donation to your community food pantry. At the same time, say a prayer of thanksgiving for what you have, and resolve to be more intentional about your own meal planning, preparation and consumption.
A Prayer for Gratitude
Dear God, Thank You for Your amazing power and work in our lives. Thank You for Your goodness and for Your blessings over us. Thank You that You are able to bring hope through even the toughest of times, strengthening us for Your purposes. Thank You for Your great love and care. Thank You for Your mercy and grace. Thank You that You are always with us and will never leave us. Thank You for Your incredible sacrifice so that we might have freedom and life. Forgive us for when we don't thank You enough, for who You are, for all that You do, for all that You've given. Help us to set our eyes and our hearts on You afresh. Renew our spirits, fill us with Your peace and joy. We love You and we need You, this day and every day. We give You praise and thanks, for You alone are worthy! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
