God,
Lord, I pray for every family that will gather this Thanksgiving with something unspoken between them. Soften hearts before the turkey is carved. Let somebody say sorry first. Let it be me.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Bible verses about family
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
