The Blessing
I'm called upon frequently to give the Blessing
before a meal -- at church, at family gatherings,
and civic occasions.
I guess I'm an okay Blessing-prayer-giver.
But I do get tired of hearing myself say the same thing
over and over.
Sometimes I want to break out of my rut and pray
a more imaginative prayer.
Recently I ran across these two prayers that I like.
Maybe I'll use them....
first one:
For every cup and plateful Lord,
make us truly grateful.
second one:
Lord, bless this bunch
As they munch
Their lunch.
