We’ve been enjoying a special dinner together as a family on Friday nights. I found a really nice song, written by Martha Zimmerman in her book, Celebrating the Feasts, and we sing it as our blessing over the food on Friday nights:
(to the tune of “Edelweiss”)
Bless our home, bless our food;
Come, O Lord, and sit with us;
May our talk glow with peace,
May your love surround us;
Friendship and love, may they bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever;
Bless our home, bless our food;
Come, O Lord, and sit with us.
Trouble is, it’s hard to sing this when you get all choked up, listening to all those sweet voices singing!
