I’m truly thankful for all I have and reading your article has made me remember the importance of our family meals together. A good grace or prayer can just calm the spirit and allow us to see and enjoy what really matters.
Thank you for your insight.

Great post Jacquie, Grace is something that I grew up saying at every dinner and never really never gave it all that much thought. It was just something we did as a family. Now in my adult life when religion is not part of my every day life and unfortunately my children never shared the joy of going to Sunday school and having those memories, we never say grace. Your post is a great reminder of taking just a few minutes before we share a special meal like Thanksgiving to say out loud how thankful we really are. We are having dinner at my sister in law’s tonight, I am bringing dessert & wine and I will be also be saying the blessing at the table tonight. Thanks Jacquie for a wonderful reminder.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Ok, so I’m drooling after reading about all the food you will have at your buffet dinner tonight. Yum!

All of the grace prayers are lovely but I think I want to use the Scottish tonight if I can pull it off with the proper accent!

Enjoy your meal and your family tonight Jacquie and Happy Thanksgiving!
