God Is Great

When I was just a child it was a very big deal to offer God thanks before each meal.. We never just dove in as that would have been rude before reciting "God is great, God is good." Sometimes mom served liver which I've always hated. I'd conceal it in my napkin and our cocker spaniel ate it. This world is now so changed and at such a rapid pace. Perhaps this little prayer should be posted every place?

Hi Andrea, Living alone now I am some times guilty of not praying as much as I should It's a good prayer for all ages. Thanks for your visit.

Love it, thank God for those dogs under the table that would help one finish their food so they could get up from the table : ). I remember the prayer as well: )

Hi Stephan, Yes that little blonde cocker spaniel of ours lived to be seventeen years old God bless her. She was the most loyal little girl and I should have brought her with me when I left home as she was very much my dog back then.
