      A Grateful HeartDaily Blessings for the Evening Meal from Buddha to The BeatlesEdited by M. J. RyanThis is a precious and unique daily verse book focusing on the evening meal or in my case the evening time because my meal shows up at scattered hours, so I just picked a page for the season we are in and I meditated for a while on a quote I saw on there. These beautiful heart felt prayers focus on many different topics of our lives, but all 365 have the theme of God and gratitude for all the blessings we have.I feel the author did an outstanding job in producing such an awesome variety, and displayed them in such an easy to follow format with many of the choices simple and right to the point. This blessed little goodie has made it's way to my spiritual tool box and my nightly meditation. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a little help at night keeping a positive and enlightened focus or even as a gift to someone special.Love & Light,Riki Frahmann
