Just in time for Thanksgiving, why not visit the UUA’s WorshipWeb site — full disclosure: I was the developmental editor — and enjoy Gary Kowalski’s meditation:
We give thanks for the earth and its creatures
and are grateful from A to Z:For alligators, apricots, acorns and apple trees;
For bumblebees, bananas, blueberries and beagles;
Coconuts, crawdads, cornfields and coffee;
Daisies, elephants, and flying fish;
For groundhog, glaciers and grasslands;
Hippos and hazelnuts, icicles and iguanas . . .
Make sure you read at least as far as Q. Happy Thanksgiving!
