For those in the US, today is a time to come together for a big meal with family and friends and give thanks for the abundance in our lives.

As you sit down to your Thanksgiving meal this year, take a moment to reflect on where your food came from, for the many hands the food passed through, for the bounty that nature provides for us, for the hard work and love that went into the meal.

YES! Magazine has put together a beautiful poster called A World of Thanks, which provides pre-meal sayings from various cultural traditions. Perhaps these prayers and phrases can provide you with some inspiration for today’s meal and throughout the year.

May your Thanksgiving be filled with gratitude, food, love, and peace!
