We give thanks, generous God, because we owe you more than we can ever repay.  We give because we love you and want to show our devotion.  We give because there are needs to be met among us and in other places where we cannot go.  We give because we need to be generous in order to be whole.  Loving God, bless all givers who provide for others out of their means, and multiply these resources in your service.  Amen.
