mps09 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 We always sing grace before lunch, and I'm looking for some alternatives so the children can choose from a selection. Does anyone else do this? and what do you say/sing? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 We do and ours is: For what we are about to receive May the Lord make us truly thankful Amen Am trying to remember the one we did in a previous school which was a singing one - will come back if it comes to mind!

SueFinanceManager Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Not one for the children but I read this at a Christmas lunch one year Thank you for teaching me gratitude with this delicious bread and meat. Thank you for teaching me patience while waiting 'til time to eat. Thank you for teaching me faith, expecting food and never having doubts. Thank you for teaching me suffering by providing these brussel sprouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
