Grace before a meal

I'm curious to see how many of you still do it. What do you say? On occasions when I remenber to say grace I say something like this:

Thank You Lord for this meal and Bless us all with food everyday...amen

I pray in the morning and in the evening. I don't pray in front of food, I pray before the Gohonson.

I'm always talking...all day long....Just in awe of ever thing...Thanking it's here....This, that....those...everything......I don't know I just live like this....usually it's just silent though....Just appreciating everything..Just glad to be apart of it......But then there could be those days. when NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....!!!!!!.cry....Where's my happy place???

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for the abundance and varieties of food that are before me, please bless this food to the nourishment of my health, to keep me healthy and better able to serve you. Bless the hands that have prepared these foods before they came to me, that they too will come to know you as I have come to know you. In the precious name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Amen. 🐰

Daniel knelt and prayed 3x per day!

Dan 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

I'll be honost, I barely have the will to get up in the morning, much less be thankful for it or anything for that matter. Sometimes when I just am exposed to the outside I get a sense of peace, but very rarely am I intune, thus making me in no position to say grace..

I am the one who provides the food on my table so if I should oray to any I would need a mirror in the kitchen

There's one in your bathroom....Do you give thanks there???? 😄

We don' t have the tradition of saying grace a meals and I won' t either.

I do it sometimes

paryers before a meal makes the meal go cold

What about prayers in the bathroom....Got to be thankful for somethings.....

Got to be thankful for somethings.....

I've heard of people who got struck and fried by divine and deadly lightning at the diner table after NOT having said grace before they ate. Then God ate them...not having said grace either!

Thank You Heavenly Father for my food in Jesus Name.

1 Timothy 4:3-4
forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;

God and I have an agreement, I don't kill all his followers (although I am recently considering to break that) and he doesn't steal me 30 seconds before my meal time.

Yeah, but Sam told me that you killed Jeremy, so the deal is off. Gotta say it now. Gotta.

I wonder if a cannibal would get away without saying "Grace" if he was about to eat a girl named Grace, and he said her name just before he ate her brain because he wasn't 100% sure she was only pretending to be dead? Makes you think, doesn't it?

Oh, the answer to that question is "No", by the way, so don't try it.

Yes, I say grace before meals. I try not to forget. And if I do forget...I have children to remind me! *smiles*

We say the old "God is great, God is good. Let us thank him for this food" prayer. Very rarely does it get switched. Which is sad cause if you become so used to something, what meaning is behind it then?

Nice thread.*smiles*
