Today is the anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, the poet of Scotland. I don't know if you marked this event, or if you are wont to say a grace before you dine, but let me offer this suggestion if you're in such a mind. From 1791, and according to Burns scholars, extemporaneous:
O thou who kindly dost provide
For every creature's want!
We bless Thee, God of Nature wide,
For all Thy goodness lent:
And if it please Thee, Heavenly Guide,
May never worse be sent;
But, whether granted, or denied,
Lord, bless us with content. Amen!
I don't usually do so well when given the same opportunity. Bless ye, Rabbie.
