Gratitude for This Food
Food is our most fundamental material blessing.
Use each meal as an opportunity to feel gratitude for all the blessings of this life.
In a world where so many are hungry,
may we eat this food with humble hearts;
in a world where so many are lonely,
May we share this friendship with joyful hearts.
- Anonymous
For food that stays our hunger,
For rest that brings us ease,
For homes where memories linger,
We give our thanks for these.

We receive this food in gratitude to all beings
Who have helped to bring it to our table,
And vow to respond in turn to those in need
With wisdom and compassion.
- Buddhist Blessing
As we join hands in fellowship
around this bountiful table,
we give thanks for the blessings of this food
and the love of these friends
as a symbol of our gratitude
for all the manifold blessings of this life.
