I need some adivce or prayers. I'm having dinner for the first time at my boyfriends grandparents house. We dated for a couple of years but always had to work on Thanksgiving so I could never go. Its a tradition for the newest guest at the table to say grace before dinner, and that would be me. I never prayed before eating. What do I say? Don't tell me to go to church, I do sometimes. But I never had to say grace in front of a lot of people. I don't want to be rude and refuse. Any suggestions or prayers to say?

In the name of the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit. AMEN.
Dear Lord, we are gathered here today to thank You for providing us this bounty that we are going to consume in Your name. We thank you Lord for our families and friends that provide comfort during our moments of needs and despair. We pray for those less fortunate that are away, in need or simply can't seem to set aside a little time to worship You. We ask you that we continue to receiving the necessary inspiration to help those that have strayed from your word. We thank you Lord for giving us your only son to redeem the sins of the world and for your continued mercy. We will forever be grateful each and everyday for the all of the blessings you have bestowed upon us throughout the year and for years to come. AMEN!

I think the first prayer in the first answer is the best one for you to use.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
