For all you coffee lovers, we found this prayer of thanksgiving for coffee in Steven L. Case's Book of Uncommon Prayer:
God, right now, let us forget what all the health reports say and simply thank you for the gift of coffee. Thank you for those wonderful beans that are picked, roasted, ground, and brewed to make that wondeful elixir. Thank you for the warmth of the mug in our cold hands. Thank you for energy and life it puts back in our brains and bodies. Thank you for that warm, wonderful feeling in which every sip seems to flow directly into our blood streams and out to the tips of our fingers and the ends of our toes. Thank you for cream, sugar, and sugar substitutes. Thank you for anything good that goes with coffee. Thank you for coffee ice cream. Thank you any place that sells coffee. Bless every person who makes or sells coffee. Are you getting the idea God? Thank you for all your blessings--and at the moment, thank you especially for this one. Amen.
