For a Healthier Tomorrow

A Prayer, by Georgia Perez

Great Spirit,

Thank you for another day in which I can spread my wings

like the eagle, gathering wisdom and strength

to make life's changes for a healthier tomorrow,

through working the body and taking the time to enjoy each other.

Great Spirit,

We thank you for your blessings that have provided

the healthy foods to nourish our bodies.

May we learn to appreciate and not take for granted

all that we know to made us healthier

May we be open to accept change that will benefit

not only ourselves, but our children as well.

Great Spirit,

Thank you for the sweet rewards that come from the soul

that we work with our hands.

May the rewards be plentiful as our families grow healthier,

to live longer and healthier lives.

Great Spirit,

Thank you for our family and friends.

May we continue to grow as one community

for a healthier tomorrow,

through supporting and sharing in times of need and joy.

Great Spirit,

And thank you for each and every day that we can enjoy

the blessings that you have given to us.

Amen.
