Verse of the day
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Voice of the day
The concept of setting aside one day for giving thanks doesn’t fit. We [the Ho-Chunk Nation] think of every day as Thanksgiving.
Prayer of the day
Now we turn our thoughts to the Creator, or Great Spirit, and send greetings and thanks for all the gifts of Creation. Everything we need to live a good life is here on this Mother Earth. For all the love that is still around us, we gather our minds together as one and send our choicest words of greetings and thanks to the Creator. Now our minds are one.
From the Mohawk version of the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address – Greetings to the Natural World
