"Bless us, o lord, for these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ, our Lord... Amen"
I think that's how that goes....

If you believe in Jesus or a God, than it make sense to give thanks for the provision of the food.

That's it. I have family members (aunts and uncles) who say it before every meal. My immediate family, on the other hand, only says grace on special occasions like Sunday dinner with grandparents or a holiday.

Yes, I say Grace and that is the popular version of the prayer, however one can say any sort of blessing one wants to say as long as we honor God and thank Him for the food, blessings in general and good graces we find ourselves in.

That is how it goes! We do say a prayer before eating on Thanksgiving, and usually it is from the heart, rather than a formal one.

yes we say grace at all our dinners one in Maori (I live in NZ) and one in english which is simply "god bless good food amen" the maori one is abit more complicated to say but still means the same thing..... oh we also dont celebrate thanksgiving its just another day for us.....

Yep, on Thanksgiving and every day of the week. You never know what people were doing right before they fixed your food.

ofcourse...thankgiving is about giving thanks and i thank the Lord everyday for giving me life, family, friends and pretty much everything i have.
God saved my life a few years ago. i wasnt doing well in school and i was doing drugs. my life was messed up. it separated me from my friends and family, they tried to help but i just didnt appreciate it. im 15 now and my life is better than ever because i found God.
i dont just thank Him on thanksgiving tho...i thank Him everyday!
