The following is a responsive reading for a Thanksgiving service that starts out being thankful for the “big picture items” but progresses down to some close and personal items for which we also need to be thankful to God. I wrote it for use at our local church, but you could easily modify it to fit your own needs. The congregational responses are all based on Scripture. The text below that is in italics should be replaced with text that is reflective of your congregation.
