Bless this food to our use
And us to thy loving and faithful service.
--The Book of Common Prayer, Adapted.
My Reflection: So simple, yet so complicated. Sometimes I forget how easy my life is, compared to millions of others on this planet. I have easy access to food. In fact, I have TOO easy of access to food. I am slowly out growing my jeans, adding a pound or two hear and there. I have easy access to food. I have a gym membership. I have a vehicle to get me to the gym. I also have NO willpower, No desire to exercise, and NO motivation to do anything but sit. It is sure easy to SAY "God, here I am, use me for thy will" and another thing entirely to actually DO something. I can use this prayer in my life..provided it also includes the addendum "And bless me with the motivation to get off my fat butt and get a move on."
