Grace at Your Table
My dear son,
When you sit down to eat today, take a moment to notice your food. Water entered the soil, and shoots grew into grain. I delight in watering the earth, tending its life, and nourishing yours.
Many people's efforts also brought that meal to your table. Be thankful for their work, and receive your food with care. Familiar gifts need not become gifts you take for granted.
Enjoy your meal and the strength it gives you for the day. If you have something to share, offer it to a neighbor. May this morning include gratitude as you discover your Father's care even at an ordinary table.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 65:9–10
WEB9You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.
10You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
A short reflection
The psalm praises God for watering the earth, softening its soil, and nurturing grain and growing plants.
