Getting Ready for Thanksgiving!

I know we still have about two weeks before Thanksgiving, but it is coming up on us quickly, and it is time to start getting ready!

So I brought out all the "lil' pilgrims" salt shakers, the Big Pilgrims who are gathering in the harvest,

The old farm couple is reading from the Bible and praying for all...

And even the little children are praying and thankful as they pray the so familiar childhood prayer:

"God is Great,

God is Good,

Let us thank Him for our food...

By His hands we all are fed,

Thank You, Lord,

for our daily bread."

Amen

I remember hearing this grace said in my grandparents' home:

"The eyes of all look expectantly to You,

and You give them their food in due season.

You open Your hand

and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Come Lord Jesus, 

Be our Guest,

Let these Your gifts to us be blessed.

Amen."

(excerpts from Psalm 145:15-16)

Does anyone else have a special table grace that is traditional or that you remember from your childhood?  Would love to have you share it here as we prepare our hearts and homes for Thanksgiving.

"Oh, give thanks to the Lord,

for He is good! 

For His mercy endures forever!"

Psalm 118:1

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

Grace

How many of you lisped this sweet table grace as a I child? I did. Brings back precious memories. It kind of covered everything, don't you think?  Might be a good way to pray today as well...who said praying had to be elaborate and full of deep theological words that only deep theologians understand? Keep it simple...get to the point...

"Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ..."  

Ephesians 5:20

Gotta start somewhere...

Amen?
