You prepare a banquet for me, where all my enemies can see me; you welcome me as an honored guest and fill my cup to the brim.

I will bring a wine offering to the LORD, to thank him for saving me.

No one will eat or drink with anyone to offer comfort when a loved one dies. No one will show sympathy, not even for someone who has lost a father or mother.

Then he took a piece of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in memory of me."

Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, thanked God for them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people.

You will have all you want to eat, and you will give thanks to the LORD your God for the fertile land that he has given you.

(SEE 9:12)

Those who think highly of a certain day do so in honor of the Lord; those who will eat anything do so in honor of the Lord, because they give thanks to God for the food. Those who refuse to eat certain things do so in honor of the Lord, and they give thanks to God.

Everything that God has created is good; nothing is to be rejected, but everything is to be received with a prayer of thanks,

because the word of God and the prayer make it acceptable to God.
