Come Lord Jesus, be our guest, let all thy gifts to us be blest.\n\nOr,\nThe Lord is good to me, so I will thank the Lord, for giving me the things I need, the sun and the rain and the apple trees.  The Lord is good to me.  Amen.\n\nTwo classic examples.  The second is commonly sung, I wish I could transmit the tune over Yahoo Answers.

Well bread and gravy were on the menu:\n\nLink 1:\n"Do you know why we break the bread? In the passover feast it was broken to remind the Jews that slaves never had the luxury of a complete loaf. Slave always, which they were in Egypt, had to eat bits and pieces. Today the bread is broken to remind us that Jesus Christ's body was broken on the cross. That's why we eat this. We remember what happened to Him. He died of a broken heart.\n\nNow, at the last supper they had a very small menu. And I don't think butter was on the menu. I don't like eating dry bread, do you? I'm glad that the Bible says that bread and our water will be sure. I almost wish it says that the peanut butter would be sure. He didn't use butter, so what did they do for this dry bread? They dipped it. They dipped it in a sauce. It's still the custom in the Middle East to do this. The sauce is often made of stewed fruit or bitter herbs, or a combination. They would dip the bread, and that's why in another passage of the Bible it's called the sop (see John 13:26 cf.). They sopped up that moisture and ate the bread. For each person to dip out of the same saucer was very meaningful. What it basically meant is that you and I, all of us that is doing this, are saying by doing this tat we are in unity. We're old friends. We're going to share each other's germs here. We're going to share everything. We would die to protect each other. WE are a bonded unit. We're going to be loyal to each other until death. \n\n\nLink 2:\nOn the Last Supper Menu: Was It Leavened or Unleavened Bread?\n\nDid Jesus and his disciples eat leavened or unleavened bread at the Last Supper?\n\n    by Michael P. Germano\n\nThe Argument\n\n    * The Greek word for "leaven" is zume\n    * The Greek for what we read as "unleavened bread" is azumos which is translated more properly as "unleavened" with out the word "bread."\n    * When an author wishes to be specific about the type of "bread" in any incident, he uses azumos. That is, the emphasis is on "unleavened", and not on bread, e.g., I Corinthians 5:8.\n    * The "bread" used at the Last Supper is the more generic Greek artos Hebrew lechem. In fact, Psalm 41:9 which describes a normal meal is used as a prophecy of this supper.\n    * The conclusion drawn from these scriptures is that the last Supper was just that, a normal meal served with leavened bread.\n\nSome churches use leavened bread for communion others employ unleavened bread. Does it make any difference? The answer to that question takes one to denominational doctrine. If you examine the arguments for and against either practice you will find that the dispute generally comes down to whether or not Jesus of Nazareth broke leavened or unleavened bread at the last Supper. As he then commanded his disciples to continue the practice as an important theological metaphor churches seek to follow the example he set. The scholarly literature shows that specialists are of a split opinion. Some believe the last Supper was a Passover Seder with unleavened bread others do not.\n\nArtos is the Greek word for bread. In Greek azumos refers specifically to unleavened bread. Zume is leaven. Can artos be either leavened or unleavened bread? At the occasion of the Last Supper Jesus took artos and "broke it and gave it to them" (Luke 22:19). He then passed it out to his disciples and they ate it. He took some artos, a morsel or piece, which he dipped and gave to Judas (John 13:21-26).\n\nWilliam Dankenbring points out that the Greek word for the bread consumed at the Last Supper was artos. He argues:\n\n    ...that evening we read that Jesus broke "bread" - artos in the Greek language - and they ate of it (Luke 22:19); He took a piece of this bread, and "dipped it," and gave it to Judas, who was to betray Him (John 13:21-26). The word artos is th

Philippians 4:13--I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.\n\nI first learned this verse as a young Christian. I was a basket case. On the verge of a mental breakdown, didn't care what I looked like, believed myself to be stupid and uneducated. My family had spoken horrible things into my life. Called me w**re, thief, bad mother, fat & ugly, unwanted by my biological mother (I was adopted). My then pastor showed me this verse. Told me to say it every time I felt any of the bad things that had been spoken to me. I did it. I figured, what did I have to loose? Since that time, I have lost over 100 pounds, and now work as a manager of a group home for mentally ill adults. That which my family deemed for bad, GOD made good with this one verse. I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

No....\n\nBut I once came home from school and asked my mum who Julie Faffel was- my mum asked me where I heard the name, and I said "when we say grace before lunch we say 'for what we are about to receive may the lord make us Julie Faffel'". \n\nBless..

Something green.  Your table is looking a little beige.  Whenever I see that my meal is looking 'beige' I add green or red.  \n\nSteamed kale or any greens would be nice.  Even some steamed green beans would round it off.  What about a salad of mixed greens, grape tomates, and cucumber (simple) to start?\n\nHappy eating!
