Okie Centennial Thanksgiving Week Prayer
of Confession today at church:
Lord of Life, we come to the time of Thanksgiving when for generations the harvest was "safely gathered in ere the winter storms begin." As the north winds blow, we are reminded of our mortality, and of our dependence on one another for blessings beyond our deserving. Teach us also to feel responsible especially to those who have not been so blessed. For it is the anniversary of a place called Oklahoma, and we must not only celebrate the past, but learn from it -- just as we must do the same in church. Otherwise, it will only be hot air that comes "sweeping down the plains." In the name of Jesus, our Teacher and Lord, we pray. Amen.
Way cool.
