Occasion: Giving thanks for enough
|
|
|
|
This table is plain, Lord ---
|
|
bread cut,
|
|
bowls set out,
|
|
a light on in the kitchen,
|
|
food enough for this day.
|
|
|
|
Teach me to call enough by its right name.
|
|
|
|
Keep me from counting what is missing
|
|
until I pass over what is here,
|
|
from treating daily bread like a small thing.
|
|
|
|
Gratitude turns restless so easily,
|
|
enough begins to feel like less
|
|
the moment I compare it
|
|
with what others have
|
|
or with what I hoped would be mine.
|
|
|
|
Make me quick to thank You
|
|
for the cupboard that is not empty,
|
|
for the glass that is full,
|
|
for the meal prepared.
|
|
|
|
I do not need to pretend
|
|
that every need has vanished.
|
|
Only help me receive what is here
|
|
without taking its goodness for granted.
|
|
|
|
At this table,
|
|
let want grow quiet.
|
|
At this table,
|
|
let me thank You first.
|
|
|
|
Amen. |
