To My Crew
(This is a wonderful Grace to say with the crew before the guests arrive.)
Dear God,
Bless us to set
and dress our tables
with lots of love and fun,
white laced table cloth
vases of flowers
in the center
to welcome everyone,
The whiff of apple cider
hovering in the air
to greet the many guests
as they touch upon the stairs,
Lord
Bless the smallest
floating cherry
in the massive fruit punch bowl,
the chocolate fondue fountain,
the homemade dinner rolls,
Bless the youngest
to the oldest,
who will share
the warmth
and love
Bless those who will not
be in attendance
Bless us all with
Your Grace from above.
Amen.

I have used this bench at home and at church for many years. It is comfortable to both my knees and body.
