  Gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  You have blessed us with all good gifts, and with thankful hearts, we 
express our gratitude. You have created us with opportunities to serve 
other people in their need, to share together in respect and affection, 
and to be faithful in the responsibilities we have been given.
