Lord, hear our prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the world in which we live: its beauty, the different colors, the shapes and sizes of everything around us. We thank you for our family and friends, our neighbors and those we meet at school or at work. We thank you for making us. We thank you for making us the way we are. We praise you that we can think and plan and choose and learn. We thank you that we can help and care; that we can give and we can receive. Thank you dear Father for the greatest giver of all, our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
