Horizon House Prayer

This was sent to all the adoptive families- We were all wondering what the prayer was that was said daily at the orphanage since it was said in Amharic- Here it is! This will be neat to tell Greyson someday...





Horizon House Prayer

"In the name of the Father (beh semeh ab)
the son (beh wold)
and the Holy Sprit (beh menfes kidus)
One God (ahadu amlak)
Amen. (ahmen)

Our God, we pray to ask you to please bless this bread and this water,
we pray t0 ask you to please provide to those who are hungry and thirsty
and give to them with your blessings, Amen.
Let those who are working hard for others and those with giving hands be blessed.
In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen. "

Below is Sinidu, one of the fabulous cooks at Horizon House's bread recipe. She made this everyday for pretty much every meal and it was so YUMMY!
