A Kitchen Prayer
I understand that a Mason City housewife, Mrs. F. L. H., came back to her home to find the following appropriate prayer on the wall of the kitchen which had been remodeled during her absence:
 
God bless my little kitchen,
I love its every nook.
 
And bless me as I do my work,
Wash pots and pans and cook.
 
And may the meals that I prepare
Be seasoned from above.
 
With Thy great blessing and Thy Grace,
But most of all Thy love.
 
As we partake of earthly food
The table ‘fore us spread.
 
We’ll not forget to thank Thee, Lord,
Who gives us daily bread.
 
So bless my little kitchen, God,
And those who enter in.
 
May they find naught but joy and peace
And Happiness therein.

MY KITCHEN PRAYER
God bless my little kitchen,

Who gives us daily bread.
 
So bless my little kitchen, God,
And those who enter in,
May they find naught but joy and peace
And happiness therein.
