Doctor Grandma

My grandpa George Plantenga always said the Lord’s prayer memorized, faster than anyone I’ve ever heard say it. He had one other prayer, which he said at Thanksgiving. I just found a copy of it. He never read these, he said them from memory.
 
Oh mighty God and Heavenly Father,
again we draw nigh unto Thee
on this noon hour this Thanksgiving Day,
We thank Thee for the many bountiful blessings granted unto us,
We thank Thee that Thou hast prepared us for the life given unto us,
the health and strength to accomplish our daily tasks of life.
We pray that Thou will bless the food which has been prepared for us,
and that Thou will lead, guide and direct us,
and forgiveth our sins.
We ask it in Jesus’ name,
Amen.
