No that was when I was telling you that they were TRYING to get knocked up... Now it seems that they were very good at it... |

Good that she is around to educate you |

Yes, I had to go look that up... |

Perhaps Baldur should ask a question of his audience. |

Well, Baldur, ahem ... first prayers that came to mind are two I think you you cannot use: "Over the lips and past the gums, look out liver, here it comes." ... or .... "Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub. Yea God!" |

I like marius' blessing (the peace and blessing one -though I've always been rather fond Rub -a-dub-dub Thanks for the grub too!) |

My favorite is 'Give us this day our daily bread, may you bless IT and love US'. |

As a kid, we always said, "God is Great, God is good, Let us thank Him for our food. Amen" LOL We hated that good and food didn't rhyme, so we always pronounced food like good with an "f". It's the dumbest grace in the world, which could bring your guests a laugh. But, then, Baldur, I'm sure you are going for class, with all that foo-foo china and silver! |

And then there's always that recent country song..."God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy!" |

Oh, I don't think God is happy about the way people treat him. Whenever I tell Olivia (kimberly) she's sinned, she walks over to my Bible, picks it up, and spits on it! Just spits all over it just to bug me and disgrace God |

Baldur's request for ideas about grace before Thanksgiving dinner brought to mind a prayer I heard at a conference. It was sung by a Native American "rock group" as the prayer offering before our annual awards banquet. They had everyone join in on the chorus, which is the middle part. It gave me chills, the good kind! Yes, this is probably not an ideal grace for a Thanksgiving event, but still a lovely prayer. : ) |

One prayer I've always liked is when someone says something to the effect of "Thanks for bringing us together safely and thanks for seeing us home safely." Not sure why, but that always warms the heart. |

How about one my grand dad taught me? |
||

I don't think this would work for you Baldur but occasionally when we sit down to eat at my folks place my step-dad will say "I'll say grace... Grace, let's eat." |
||

And does Grace let him eat?? |
||

Marius, the Navajo Blessing Way Prayer is one of the most lovely things I've read lately. It expresses a universal sort of spirituality. |

sheftali, great way of putting it - "universal sort of spirituality." |

And speaking of humming, it's time to wish all a wonderful and wondrous Thanksgiving Day to all. Have selected a musical interlude to represent that wish. Enjoy. |
