A very Happy Thanksgiving.

Dear sweet Bridge Community,
I’m grateful for a lot, but I’m particularly grateful for this community. Thinking about your faces makes me smile. Your beautiful hearts move me and others to love deeper, and watching you all care and love those around you, is inspiring! 
I hope this thanksgiving season you not only feel gratitude, but that you also experience the gift you are to others! 
You are loved!!!
Eden

And to echo what Eden said, I am incredibly grateful for the gifts, talents, love and joy that there is in our community. Our different experiences, stories and situations provide both depth and width in our community and make it easy for others to find a place for themselves too. I love that we have a place for questions and that we don’t have to agree, but can still love one another. That’s a special thing and not easy to hold in balance. That’s thanks to all of you!
With big love
Sarah

A prayer:

Oh Creator, how we love thanksgiving as it feels like a clean holiday, no gifts, no decorations (beyond pumpkins) just gratitude, thankfulness and a celebration together over a harvest. We are grateful to the land for providing sustenance for us. From the tiniest microbes and pollinators and everything that makes things grow. We ask for mercy where we have misused resources, damaged the delicate balance of our planet and put ourselves in danger. Show us how to do better. Thank you, all we have is gratitude. You love everything that You have created, help us to do the same. In the name of Jesus, who walked on the earth with us. Amen
