Spirit, lead me into gratitude with an open heart.

Take a deep breath in, acknowledging the sun that shines and the rain that pours on the fields that provide your food.

Exhale as you thank the Creator for all the hands and hearts that participated in the food you eat.

There are so many people who have a hand in what is brought to the grocery store and farmer's markets, or wherever you shop for food.

Gratitude List

  • Those who plant, grow and harvest your food.
  • Those who are ranchers, butchers, and meat purveyors.
  • Those who are fishermen and women and fish purveyors.
  • The drivers who transport your food.
  • The grocery store owner where you shop.
  • The coordinators for the farmer's markets and the vendors who drive and work tirelessly to bring their food to market.
  • The workers who keep the roads, railways, and barges accessible.
