My kid is BRILLIANT!!!!

When Rob and I got married, combining two denominational backgrounds was a challenge for us. It was one thing to consider the Big Picture items, like what church to go to, but the little things were even more challenging. Who's table prayer would we use, that our children would grow up reciting? Would we use the short Lutheran prayer ("Come Lord Jesus, be our guest. And let thy gifts to us be blessed.")? Or would we use the longer Catholic prayer that I grew up with ("Bless us o Lord for these thy gifts, which we are about to receive, from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord Amen.")? And yes, I did grow up Baptist but we said the Catholic prayer. ;)

Our solution was to use neither. Instead we went with Rob's Boy Scout background and decided to use what's known as the Philmont Grace. Above, Gavin gives you his rendition of it:

"For food, for rainment, for life, for opportunity, for friendship and fellowship we thank thee o Lord. "

I'm so proud I could just POP!!! :D
