\"jello\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jell-O is not a food that we often think of being particularly thankful to be eating.\u00a0 Now don\u2019t get me wrong Jell-O tastes fine, but it is not as extravagant a food as many other items are that take longer to prepare.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In my encounters with patients though I find many who are excited they have Jell-O on their meal tray.\u00a0 They patients have had either no foods or only liquids due to their condition, and when they receive Jell-O it is the first soft food they have received.\u00a0 Frequently they ask me to say a pray for the meal tray that has been brought to them.\u00a0 So over time I have composed what I call my \u201cJell-O Prayer\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Lord, we thank you that _______ (name of patient) has progressed in the healing process so that he\/she can eat again.\u00a0 At this meal we are thankful for Jell-O.\u00a0 More importantly we praise you for the healing that has taken place that allows him\/her to have soft foods.\u00a0 We also see this Jell-O as a sign of hope, that before long he\/she will be able to have a regular diet.\u00a0 We know that ______ (name of patient) has felt hungry while he\/she has been restricted from foods.\u00a0 As that restriction ends we celebrate your healing power at work in his\/her body.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n
