Mealtime Blessings

I found a blessing I love in the book, the creative family, by amanda blake soule.  It seems like the perfect blessing to use before our Samhain feast this year.

Earth, we thank you for this food,

For rest and home and all things good,

For wind and rain and sun above,

But most of all for those we love.

Here are others I have found:

For the golden corn and the honey from the bees

For golden sun and the apples on the trees

For fruits and nuts and berries we gather on our way

We thank our loving Mother Earth we thank her everyday

Blessings on our meal [today].

Blessings on the blossom

Blessings on the fruit

Blessings on the leaf and stem

Blessings on the root

Blessings on our meal [today].

*********

Blessed Be our Hearth and Home,

and our Family, wherever we Roam

Blessed Be this Food, our Feast

May we always Dwell in Love and Peace

*********

Lord and Lady, watch over us,

and bless us as we eat.

Bless this food, this bounty of earth,

we thank you, so mote it be.
