Let me just be forward
and ask – before each meal, do you thank God for the food He has, by His grace,
supplied for you?
A little lad of six
was invited out to lunch in a neighbor’s home.
As soon as everyone was seated around the dinner table, the food was
served, and everyone began to eat. The little
boy was puzzled, and with child-like frankness asked, “Don’t you pray before
eating?”
The host was
uncomfortable, but mumbled a few words.
Afterward he said, “We normally don’t pray before eating.”
The little fellow
again was quite candid, “Sounds just like my dog; he doesn’t pray either.”
A visiting farmer
stopped at a city restaurant to eat lunch.
When he was served his food, he bowed his head and gave thanks to the
Lord. Some sitting nearby noticed the
farmer praying and shouted, “Hey, Pops, back where you come from, does everyone
pray before eating?”
The old farmer shot
back without hesitation and said, “Nope, the hogs don’t.”
✞ Make it a habit of thanking God before each meal for His marvelous blessings.
