More Thanksgiving Questions

1. Do you and your family say blessing before your Thanksgiving meal?


2. Do you say it? If not, who does?


3. Do you have a set blessing you always say or do you do a special one for the day?


I would really like to say a special one this year, if I can do it without breaking down. We say blessing, but it's usually Rob and Alexa saying God is Great or something like that. I'm in the mood for something more meaningful.

Yes.

The whole family says it together.


3. Do you have a set blessing you always say or do you do a special one for the day?


It is a set blessing, we say it together every evening at dinner time.


Bless us O Lord for these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ Our Lord. Amen.


Also on Thanksgiving, each person

1. Do you and your family say blessing before your Thanksgiving meal? Yes, we say a blessing before every meal that we eat.

2. Do you say it? If not, who does? My DH usually says the Thanksgiving blessing or else my BIL.


3. Do you have a set blessing you always say or do you do a special one for the day? We usually have an "off the cuff" blessing for this day.
