Graceful Help Online

Family and friends are seated around the Thanksgiving table and you've been called on to "say Grace." A visit to Thanksgiving Graces and Psalms could point you in the right direction.

The offerings begin with Children's Graces. "Thank You, God, for all that grows," is accompanied by music, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star." Suggested Psalms are numbers 100 and 111.

If you have a Family Favorite, e-mail the prayer to site hostess Rosie Winters. The Kurt Schmeiser family submitted this simple gem: "Come, Lord Jesus, Be our guest, And let Thy gifts to us Be blest. Amen."

Traditional Graces includes prayers from such diverse sources as the Aztecs, Gen. Lew Wallace (author of Ben Hur), the Hebrews, and Robert Burns. This traditional prayer dates to the 1800s: "Father, we thank Thee for this food, for health and strength and all things good. May others all these blessings share, and hearts be grateful everywhere."
