The Background Story For Full Plate Thursday

When we were young and just starting out in life sometimes we did not have a lot of money. Most of our friends were having to stretch the dollars at the end of the month just like us. My girlfriends and I decided that we would pool our food for some of the evening meals right before payday... the last week of the month. I have some of the fondest memories from those days. We would all bring our food together and we had some great food and great fellowship. We would get the food on the table and everything ready, someone would bless the food and then the hostess would say "come fill your plate".

Irish Blessing

May the road

rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft

upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you

in the palm of His hand.
