I have a question....

If you go to a non-members house for dinner, do you bless your food? (Assuming they're not religious and don't bless their food)

Gosh, I can't think of the last time I went to a nonmember's house for dinner (all my friends are through church).

I was thinking about it the other way around, since my husband wants to have a coworker over for dinner sometime, and realized that we'd still bless the food. It's part of who we are, especially since it's our home.

But someone else's home? I would probably feel awkward; I don't know.

Hm, I don't know either. But I'm not always good at saying prayers over my own food so I probably wouldn't.

Rachel said...

I don't. Sometimes I will say something silently but I like them to respect my beliefs in my home so I just try and do what they do in theirs.

Kate said...

I agree with Rachel. Saying something silently is a good idea. Or perhaps even saying an out-loud family prayer before going over to their house, asking for Father's blessing on the food and on your hosts?

I really like that idea Kate! Thanks...those were all my thoughts as well.
