We are Grateful

Lord God and giver of all good gifts,we are grateful as we pause before this meal,for all the blessings of life that you give to us.Daily, we are fed with good things,nourished by friendship and care,feasted with forgiveness and understanding.And so, mindful of your continuous care,we pause to be gratefulfor the blessings of this table. May your presencebe the extra taste to this mealwhich we eat in the name of your son, Jesus.
