For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Adrian Butash suggests that taking a few moments before a meal to reflect and give thanks provides a time to release the stresses of the everyday and to focus on the great tradition of sharing food with those you love. Bless This Foodoffers 160 mealtime graces—including Bible verses, Native American blessings, Hindi prayers, literary offerings, and many more—from various cultures and traditions. (There's even a sign-language section!) You'll find passages perfect for a child's first blessing, for welcoming guests to the table, or for simply expressing due gratitude for the love and effort behind a meal's preparation.
