a Christmas Poem

Dear Readers,
I apologize for not putting up anything in my blog Monday and Wednesday, but I've been very ill (and still am). I visited a doctor today, and I've been diagnosed with bronchitis; so, again, I apologize.
Here is a Christmas poem for all of you! Have a wonderful Christmas, and may the LORD bless you and keep you.

Table Grace
by Gary Johnson

Here we sit as evening falls
Like old horses in their stalls.
Thank you, Father, that you bless
Us with food and an address
And the comfort of your hand
In this great and blessed land.
Look around at each dear face,
Keep each one in your good grace.
We think of those who went before,
And wish we could have loved them more.
Grant to us a cheerful heart,
Knowing we must soon depart
To that far land to be with them.
And now let's eat. Praise God. Amen.
