Prayers of Thanksgiving

Many of us will travel home for Thanksgiving and when we get there, we'll be greeted by the smells of a wonderful meal already cooking. And for some of us, when we sit down to eat, everyone else will look to us to offer a prayer.
Well, after some thorough research, I want to offer you the following transcript from Ben Stiller's prayer in "Meet the Parents".

"Oh, dear God, thank you, you are such a good God to us. A kind and gentle and accommodating God, and we thank You oh sweet, sweet Lord of hosts for the smörgåsbord You have so aptly laid at our table this day, and each day, by day, day by day, by day oh dear Lord three things we pray to love Thee more dearly, to see Thee more clearly, to follow Thee more nearly, day, by day, by day. Amen."

Use only at your own discretion and please pass the mashed potatoes.
