Greetings Dear Reader,
I have to admit that this is one of those things about which
I have mixed feelings. I always pray
before I eat. When I am by myself I do
it quietly without doing anything to call attention to it. When I am dining with someone who might be
uncomfortable with the idea I do the same.
When I am out in public with family that believe we pray together before
we eat.
I realize that praying before a meal is more a tradition
than it is a requirement but it is a good tradition. I pause to remember just how good God
is. I offer thanks for the provision he
gives. I ask for his blessing upon the
time with friends and family.
Sometimes that pause also serves to refocus my attitude and
attention. If I am having a bad day that
moment can remind me of all the good things that are mine. I can remember to ask forgiveness if I have been
less than I should be with others. It is
an excellent time to pause and remember who I am supposed to be and who God is.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
