For as long as I can remember, saying the blessing or grace over the meal has been a part of my family. No matter where we are, when it comes to mealtime we hold hands and we pray. I know it's just a small thing but those small, seemingly insignificant rituals we do in the family are more important and influential than we know. I offer these blessings, 101 of them, for your table. In fact, you may wish to place it on or near the table (a paperback edition is available). Some I have collected over the years, while many others I have written and used myself. Many are for daily meals, while others are for special occasions. Some are funny. Some you sing. Some you do not say anything at all. Some require everyone to do something. You will find the table of contents helpful in finding just the right one for the right occasion. You will find favorite ones, so let the family take turns choosing and using their favorites. This simple tradition is one you will find can bring a new spiritual depth to your family time, especially as you gather around the table. Enjoy.
