Lord,
Today we are grateful.
Grateful for friendships.

Those which have stayed true through
Highs and lows,
Struggles and Celebration.
In Questions and In Confidence.

Thank you for new friends.
For those who we walk with
Along this path of mystery.
Along this path of exploration.
Along this path of freedom.

Thank you for our shared love.
Thank you for unexpected camaraderie.
Thank you for kinship.
Thank you that for those of us
Who have lost connections through this journey,
We have found a family that embraces and welcomes us,
No matter our doubts,
our questions,
our trauma.

Thank you God for these friends.
Thank you Jesus for our siblings.
Thank you Spirit for companionship.

Amen.
