God,
So much of life is a mystery to us. We don't understand
how some things happen or why some things happen,
but we trust that you are in control. Thank you for
all of your gifts, including this food.

Eternal grace

God of the past, present, and future,
We have advanced from cooking over fires to meals that can be heated in minutes.
Yet we still must grow the food, and our bodies must be fed. Thank you
for good changes, and thank you that some things never change.
Bless this food, whichever way it was prepared.

Amen.
