My Dear Abby's thanksgiving non-prayer

Oh, heavenly Father,

We thank thee for food and remember the hungry.
     ACTION:
            Let's fight for a living wage and abolish the minimum wage so that all can afford the food and the shelter.

We thank thee for health and remember the sick.
     ACTION:
            Let's pass a universal health care so that the sick get care.

We thank thee for friends and remember the friendless.
      ACTION:
            Let's stop making enemies overseas.

We thank thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.
     ACTION:
             Let's ban wars, stop making bombs and bullets, and stop supporting friendly but corrupt kings and dictators who oppress their people.

May these remembrances stir us to service,
     ACTION:
            Let's not send to unnecessary wars in the first place and then not take care of them. Let's give them opportunities to go to school without signing up for wars.

  Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
