Blessed at Lunch

Today I was at lunch and as usual we prayed to bless and sanctify our food and went about our normal eating and talking routine. A few minutes later 2 gentle men sat down across the aisle from us and both men bowed their heads and prayed for their meals before starting to eat. I took notice and smiled both on the inside and on the outside as I usually don't see many "prayers" out in public.

About the time we were done eating and cleaning up our spot, I turned sideways to talk to my lunch date and noticed out of the corner of my eye the guy who had just sat down behind us took his hat off and was praying over his food!

I was a bit take back by the fact the not only do I NOT see Christians praying over their food or praying period, in public places but today with in a 15 minute period there were 3 tables of Christians who had publically bowed their heads and blessed their food with out shame.

I was so excited & Blessed by this, my date and I talked about it for quite some time.

WE "Believers" need to not be ashamed in public or private to talk to our Heavenly Father and thank Him for our food or what ever, IN PUBLIC PLACES!
We are truly blessed to live in free country to be able to do that, for that I am grateful.
I was so blessed to know the WE believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are everywhere!

My encouragement for you today is to not be ashamed or embarrassed to pray in the presence of others, you don’t have to make a big deal out of it or a "show" but it will bless and encourage others like it did for me today!

WAY TO BE BOLD!
