Grace and Joy: Gwen's Second Tablegrace

Creating God,
Thank you for all that you have made with grace and joy. Re-form us and help us to rejoice in your creation, other creatures, and in food. Help us to be thankful. May our gratitude move us to joyfully share our food, our gifts, and ourselves with others.

After reading Born Again Bodies and Starving for Salvation, I am more aware of the problems that we as individuals and as a society have with food. Reading Sharing Food reconnected me to the joy of food, eating and sharing food. On Reformation Sunday, I pray that all of us can be re-formed to see the joy of eating and be thankful for food and not burdened by it.
