As a reverent scout, a mealtime grace or blessing is a wonderful way to practice a worship activity with your family while on vacation.
Many scouts already sing this dinner-time blessing during campouts. Did you know it comes from a Disney movie?
Sung by Dennis Day, it was part of the short 1948 Disney classic, “Johnny Appleseed”.
♪♫ The Lord is good to me
And so I thank the Lord
For givin’ me the things I need
The sun and rain and the apple seed
Yes, He’s been good to me. ♫♪
I owe the Lord so much,
for everything I see,
I’m certain if it weren’t for Him
there’d be no apples on this limb.
He’s been good to me.
Oh, here am I ‘neath the blue, blue sky,
A-doin’ as I please!
Singin’ with my feathered friends,
Hummin’ with the bees.
I wake up every day,
As happy as can be
Because I know that with His care
My apple trees, they will still be there.
Oh the Lord is been good to me.
Another verse found online (not in the Disney movie).
Every seed I sow will grow into a tree
and soon there’ll be apples there
for everyone in the world to share.
The Lord is good to me.
A retelling of the story of John Chapman, who spent his life roaming America and planting apple trees, thus earning his nickname.
The entire 8-minute movie can be found online here.

Even if your child misplaces you for just a few minutes, it can be a frightening experience – so it is a good idea to have a few simple steps to follow.
Teach your scout these 4 Steps for a Safer theme park visit:
Disney Mom Panel Advice for Parents: “In the unlikely event that you are separated from your child, immediately speak to the nearest cast member. They have a walkie-talkie system that alerts cast all over the park to be on the lookout for the missing child. Lost children are brought to the baby care center at each park while their parents are located.”
“The only thing scarier than the roller coasters is the thought of getting separated from your kid.”
Here are several ways to give you some crowd control.
1. Have a game plan. Before you go, talk to your family about the buddy system and how it’s an important part of having fun on vacation. You’ll also want to chat about what to do if someone gets lost: Stay put, or find a Cast Member or another mom with kids.
2. Bring a Family Photo. (or take one with your cell phone the day of your trip!) This will make it easier for park security to locate your child. Take digital snaps of each of your kids right before you leave so you can show what they’re wearing.
3. Mark (Tattoo) Your Child. If your kids are too young to memorize your cell-phone number, mark it on them.
4. Check the Map First. Start the day off by locating the park’s information centers in advance so you can point them out to your children or get to them quickly in case of an emergency. Also, look for the first-aid and baby-care centers.
