As a child, I learned this sweet and simple prayer from my parents for meal times that we say to this day. Shared with my own children and husband, it has been passed down to my Grand Children.
Come Lord Jesus,
Be our guest.
Let this food to us be Blessed.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
Thank you for visiting today,

We did not say grace at meals, I was not raised as a practicing Christian....I became a Christian in my late teens, and what a difference in my life that has made, and how thankful i am for God's great mercy and provision! I can truly say now, "let this food to us be blessed. In Jesus' Name "....
We always said the very same prayer at my godmother's house! At home my mom and dad said one in German and my brother and I said ours in English. At my maternal grandparents' there was another German prayer. I recognized it at Christmas when my aunt said it for us. Those German words have no meaning (only German I know is 'thank you'), yet they are still recognizable to this very day!
I love this prayer. We always say this at my husband's family gatherings:).
Blessings,

Lovely prayer. Thank you.
God bless you.
I love that picture and say Grace before meals but a different prayer. I just watched the movie Ghandhi today and it was so wonderful. I pray we would someone come to inspire us to nonviolence as he did. It was 3 hours long. Blessing to you and family.

I thank God for such wonderful Christian parents who said grace with heartfelt thanks at every meal!..,
I posted my Grammies favorite cookie recipe today and although I rejice taht as believers , thaey are with the Lord, for some reason, I find that I'm missing my dearly departed father, mother in law, grandmother,(and two pets) quite a lot today!..,
(I could use some cheer and company if you'd care to visit what I "lightheartedly" refer to as, "my little corner of the blogging world")!..,
What a lovely post; may God continue to richly bless you kind lady!
Cheers and hugs from Wanda Lee @ THe Plumed Pen, ( and assorted blogs).
