Into the bland
mashed potato world
of our
everydayness,
Into the
bittersweet cranberry sauce
of each
day’s trials and tensions,
Into each day’s
delights
we take
for granted,
You come, Lord,
Bringing a
zest-filled relish,
Mixing the
ingredients
with
joy-filled condiments of grace,
Serving it all
with the
savor of your presence,
Filling our
hearts with thanksgiving.
What
a feast!
What
a Chef!
