God's Provisions...
Jesus took the Loaves and gave thanks for them.
One memory that I remember growing up was saying Grace.
We must not ever waste his bounties.
I have read this saying;
"Loaves unblessed are loaves unmultiplied."
If Jesus did this before partaking of food
or serving it to others. I do think with all my heart
this is a wonderful to thank God for his provisions.
So, we should make a habit and pause and thank God.
Before eating our meals. Even if it's just yourself sitting
down for a quick lunch or a feast with friends.
Many times if we are with unbelievers we have to do this
Quietly and yet unapologetically!
If we will give thanks and eat in faith, we will
Always enjoy what we have been given to sustain our bodies.
~Make some fresh bread and break it and give thanks~
Oh, but don't forget the butter!!
Saying Grace is a bit like this;
We are saved by GRACE...
Do You Say Grace?
We bless God when we do!
As always: Living From Glory To Glory
It's just some days are harder then others...
Hugs, Roxy
Absolutely. We say Grace before we eat at every meal. No matter where we are. Even our DIL's Hindu parents ask us to say Grace when we're visiting them! Everyone knows that it's a non-negotiable part of our lives. How can we not thank Him for the gifts He so freely gives to us?

Being thankful for everything especially our food is part of my life as well, it is a joy to give thanks or say grace for all the blessings of the Lord!
ReplyDeleteOh yes Roxy, and not just before meals....I love talking to Lord all day long. Prayer is such an important part of our daily walk. When I want to do intersessory prayer, I like to use my prayer journals, as when I writing out my prayers, my mind doesn't wander. I love Psm 139 when the Psalmist says "Your thoughts of me are more than the sands at the seashore" I want my thoughts to always be towards my Lord and Savior. Thanks again for your wisdom and insight and guidance for us fellow bloggers and lovers of Christ.
ReplyDeleteOur family is large and mealtimes can be chaotic. It can take a long time for everyone to finally sit down to eat once all plates are made. We make it a practice to stop, once everyone is finally present, and pray together. Grace at mealtimes is a very sweet anchor to our souls and binds us together, reminding us all of our complete dependence on God for every provision. I love your posts Roxy and am so glad you are still blogging!
