blessed laughter

Oh gracious Lord, we thank You for this beautiful day. We thank You for the gift of life for everyone present here today. We thank You for your goodness and mercies in all we do.

Guide our ways, deliver us from evil. Fill our hearts with love and understanding for each other. Help us to be blessings onto each other and to the people around us.

And bless our meal that we are all about to eat in Jesus’ name, we pray.

AMEN!
