VARIOUS BLESSINGS AND INVOCATIONS

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly
where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities
that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
Ascribed to Mother Theresa

FOOD BLESSINGS

We thank God for love and for life
We thank each other for being here, for caring and for sharing
We thank the earth for bringing forth our food which we bless as we eat
Bon Appetit!
Antoinette Ehmke

Mother of Plenty, bless this bread
Father of the Grain, lend your seed
Let it nourish heart and head
Let it nourish thought and deed
Let its breaking be a spell
that hungry mouths be fed as well
And let its eating keep us free
As is our will, so mote it be.
