We Give Thanks
Our Father in Heaven,
We give thanks for the pleasure
Of gathering together for this occasion.
We give thanks for this food
Prepared by loving hands.
We give thanks for life,
The freedom to enjoy it all
And all other blessings.
As we partake of this food,
We pray for health and strength
To carry on and try to live as You would have us.
This we ask in the name of Christ,
Amen.
This prayer actually ends, "This we ask in the name of Christ, Our Heavenly Father." But since Christ isn't our heavenly father, and Harry Jewell is the only source I found for this expression, I changed the last line to Amen.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good prayer for the Thanksgiving meal, that can be made even better by recognizing the needs of others and our responsibility, desire and conviction to help meet those needs.
I favor the actual publish. It truly is superb to discover a person explain in words out of your cardiovascular as well as high quality with this particular essential subject material might be very easily observed. Thanksgiving 2019
