Well, as she was talking, during our blessing of the food, our daughter quickly signified silence with the "shhhhh" expression. I am not sure if the young lady heard her because she kept talking. But, our daughter was consistent with her expression as well. So, as we wrapped up the prayer and the young lady apologized and walked away, we felt pretty good about what we had witnessed.
You see, it is such a blessing to know that your child is aware of the importance of giving thanks to our Lord for His provision. The Word teaches us to receive the good things of God with thanksgiving. It is made holy by the word of God and prayer. I am not sure about you, but food is a good thing. It strengthens the body. It nourishes the body and it certainly helps us along the way as we support the building of God's kingdom.
Blessing the table is so important. God is giving us the opportunity each day we are alive to strengthen our bodies. He gives us the opportunity to replenish and hydrate so we can be physically and mentally prepared to stand in His will another moment. So, a thanksgiving prayer is certainly a time for consecration and it should not be interrupted by anyone or anything, even it means "shhhh"... no offense, but we should all be thankful for God's provisions. He blesses us with so much and we must know how important it is to give thanks to the Lord, not just for food, but for everything. And, it should not be interrupted.
