Unending Grace

September 30

Patient God,
We are thankful for times like this
to enjoy good food and to get to know
those we love a little better. May we always
find time in our lives for those we love.
Bless this meal, and may sharing it
make the bonds of love between us grow stronger.

Amen.

Dear God,
For cozy homes and families sweet,
for tasty foods we like to eat,
for all your love, and much more, too,
we give our thanks, O God, to you.

Amen.

For the sun that warms the earth, for the rain
that waters the ground, for the miracle of life
from a tiny seed, for the farmer that works hard
to provide food, for all of this and so much more,
we thank you, God, and praise your name.

Amen.

Kind God,
Thank you for this food and for all the blessings
you give us. May we pass your blessings on
to others by obeying your command to
love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

In the name of Christ, who loves everyone,
Amen.

See Leviticus 19:18, Mark 12:31, & Romans 13:9

Loving God,
Your gifts to us are all around,
we see them everywhere:
the sun, the rain, the grass, the trees,
the birds within the air,
our health, our life, our daily bread.
You've blessed us with so much.
We thank you, God, for all your gifts
and for your loving touch.

Amen.

Compassionate God,
Thank you for your blessings to us.
May we truly believe that our blessings
should be shared with those who have little.
Use this food to strengthen us
to serve the poor and needy.

Amen.

God,
Puffy clouds float overhead,
gentle breezes sway.
You give us our daily bread
each and every day.
Thank you for the wonders, Lord,
we see all around.
May the memory of your Word
within us be found.

Amen.
