Survived the Holiday Feast And Family

Survived the holiday feast and family. Sixteen folks and all enjoyed it. Despite ourselves. Much merriment.

Thanks for all your work, Maetenloch!

Thought I'd share the grace I wrote and which our Daughter delivered:

♥

Our Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this life,
with all its joys and challenges.

Thank you for this great country,
with all its joys and challenges.

Thank you for family,
with all its joys and challenges.
[many chuckles and said-along-withs -whew!]

Thank you for those who stand
in valiant defense of faith and freedom.

Thank you for this wonderful feast,
and thanks to those who helped prepare it.

[to which Daughter added the Usual Blessing]

Bless O Lord this food to our use
and us to thy service.
Keep us ever mindful of the needs of others.

Amen.

♥

Now, I need a long winter's nap.

Stay awesome, Morons. That line about defense of faith and freedom includes you.
