Saying Grace - Anniversary

This is the blessing we said before the meal at our folks' 60th anniversary gathering:

"Lord God we thank you for this day and for all the blessings you provide.

 Thank you for the good and faithful friends, and family, who are with us here today, for those who are elsewhere, and for those who have passed into your kingdom before us.

 Thank you for all the countless memories of fellowship and love that are represented by each of these individuals, in so many different ways.

 Thank you Lord, for Jerry and Dolores, for their shining example of lives well lived and well loved.

 Most importantly Lord, thank you for the gift of your love, and the gift of eternal life that is freely available to all who choose to believe in the name of your Son Jesus.

 Now, please nourish us with this food so that we can serve you better in the name of Jesus our Lord, Amen."


What do you believe?
