Answer 1

I was once in the local mall, munching down on 2 Snack Wraps (both grilled and with ranch).

As I'm about to bite down, I see, sitting across from me, a man in construction worker clothes (obviously on his lunch break).

Nothing special, just a regular looking man.

But, for whatever reason, what he did surprised me.

Before he ate, he did that thing you do in church when you touch four points on your body (forehead, chest and.... shoulders?), then cupped his hands, and rested his head on them, like he was praying.

I couldn't stop staring, not because I was judging him, but because I think it's the first time I'd seen it done in a public place.

A few seconds later he lifts his head up, does the four-point-thing and begins to eat.

And I got to wondering: Why don't most practicing Christians say Grace when in public?

There are billions of them in the world, and in my 19 years of living, that was the first time I had ever seen one?

That's impossible.

Are they embarassed? Are they scared? Are they lazy? Is it only reserved for big Holiday meals?

While I don't 'personally' say grace, people do it. And there are few compelled enough to do it for the world to see.

I found it refreshing.

Answer 2

Saying grace varies within families. Some families make sure they eat dinner together and everytime they do; they say grace before they eat. Some other families only say grace on Thanksgiving or on some holidays.

Answer 3

Catholics and some other religions think that they have to say the same words everyday but it's not true..You come up with them each day because each day is a different day and different things happen each day and you pray about a situation that happened or about what you need or want etc..
Ex:Heavenly Father I come before you in Jesus name to ask you to please....

Answer 4

lol. this is kinda funny - but, grace is just thanking God for the food taken in.
it does not always have to be formal ( or at least for me )
although i do generally say the same thing - its not always the same

"thank you Lord, for this food i am about to receive, please remove all impurities, make it nutritious to the body - and pleasing to pallet"

and sometimes if someone hand cooked the meal i'll add in "bless the hands that prepared this food"

hope that helps...

Teach your child to be creative and pray for the thoughts of the day. Mostly the dinner grace prayer is communicating thanks or gladness for the food.
