This poem was written to express gratitude for one Haitian immigrant and lift up the value of welcoming the stranger.

“My gratitude is not for tourists.”

These four prompts offer ways to share different experiences of gratitude at your Thanksgiving table. 

A prayer for our country.

“Get to know the tribe whose land you are on”

This land belongs to no one / but God. The Earth was here / before us and will endure / after we are gone.

God is good and good things happen

Is there holiness in the bounty that breaks and bereaves?

Recognizing abundance in our lives, reflecting upon our gratitude, and asking the question  “what is enough?”

An addition to the blessing after the meals focusing on our family who brought us to this land, and the labor of the many whose hands brought food to our table for this celebration
