and you give them their food in due season.
You open your hand,
satisfying the desire of every living thing.
Families and even religious traditions have lots of different ways that they say table grace. In my family we said (when we said prayers) "Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest. Let these gifts to us be blessed. Amen." As an adult I met someone who added another sentence on the end, though I can't quite remember it. It was something to do with "may all the world be clothed and fed." We've taught Carl the "Come, Lord Jesus" short version, and he's taught us LOTS of different ones.
I had a pastor colleague who, when asked to pray before a meal at church or at a staff gathering, would recite these two verses. Try it tonight at dinner.
The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.
You open your hand,
satisfying the desire of every living thing. Amen.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
