O give thanks

http://www.geneveith.com/whats-with-the-common-table-prayer/_1669/
so my husband is a wonderful wonderful husband and today after a full list of tasks, he mad us shrimp three ways (sauteed/garlic cream/bbq) and asparagus for supper. mmmmmmmmmm. the first thing that came to my mind when I wanted to blog about my thankfulness was oh give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever.
above is a link to an interesting site that asks a little about this "common table prayer" for lutherans. I didn't realize that my chatecism has a prayer for before and after the meal!

PRAYER BEFORE EATING
The eyes of all wait upon You, O Lord, and You give them their food in due season; You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
Lord God, heavenly Father, bless us and these Your gifts which we receive from Your bountiful goodness, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

PRAYER AFTER EATING
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for His mercy endures forever.
We thank You, Lord God, heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, for all Your benefits, You who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
