***A happy and blessed Thanksgiving to your family from all of us at CatholicMom.com!***

We'll be light on our regular programming today. You'll notice only a few features going live.

If you want to share your Small Successes, we'll have that going live at 5 a.m. Pacific (8 a.m. Eastern)—we weren't going to host it, but y'all are just so excited about it, and I'll admit, I'm right there with ya! And if you don't have time, never fear. There's always next week. :)

**Let's join together in a prayer, [via the USCCB](http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/prayers/thanksgiving-day-prayer.cfm):**

Lord, we thank you  
 for the goodness of our people  
 and for the spirit of justice  
 that fills this nation.  
 We thank you for the beauty and fullness of the  
 land and the challenge of the cities.

We thank you for our work and our rest,  
 for one another, and for our homes.  
 We thank you, Lord:  
 accept our thanksgiving on this day.  
 We pray and give thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord.
