Great Spirit, Almighty Healer and Creator of all things, it is with a humbled heart that we gather together to offer up many thanks. We have spent much time sending requests, that often times we forget to offer up the thanks for all that you have given us. We send this prayer to thank you for the many things that have been bestowed upon us. We thank you for the rising of Grandfather Sun each morning as he lights up our paths and provides assistance for growth. We thank you for the moist dew and mists that moisten the soil and the many plants and herbs that bring both nourishment and healing. We thank you for the majestic mountains that give us beauty of the snowcapped peaks. We thank you for the strong and mighty oak, as well as the soft canopy of the willow. We thank you for the fliers that awaken us with the soft music they provide. We thank you for the gentle winds that give us wisdom and music when we learn to listen. We thank you for the rushing of the waters flowing from the mountaintops to the lakes and oceans below, teaming with swimmers and hydrating the bodies of all living things. We thank you for the few rain forests that give us the air to breathe. We thank you for all two-leggeds, four-leggeds, swimmers, fliers and crawlers that surround us each day. We thank you for the grassy plains, thick forests and jungles, desolate deserts and the glaciers of the north. We thank you for our daily food and ask for its blessing. We thank you for Brother Eagle and his reminder that we should live our lives soaring above the many storms. We thank you for our family and friends that help to guide us along our path. We thank you for Grandmother Moon as she keeps watch over us during our slumber. We thank you for the many crawlers that send their music throughout the lands. We thank you for the courage we have to stand against evil during our time of turmoil. We thank you for Father Sky as he protects us day and night. We thank you for Mother Earth as she provides us with all we need to survive. We thank you for our Elders that give us the wisdom and instruction we need along our journey. We thank you for our children that will soon begin building upon the foundation set by the generation before them. We thank you for our Ancestors and the wisdom and instruction that they continue to provide. We thank you for your forgiveness when we stray. We thank you for your love, guidance and strength that enable us to continue on our path until our task is complete. We thank you for the Spirit World and the knowledge that life does not end here, and that learning will continue on. Emenv
