Re: How do you pray before a meal?

There is not a choice for what we do. The closest is "Everyone at the table holds hands, as I praying out loud for all the restaurant to see and hear." But that one makes it sound like we do it loudly for a show. We do hold hands, and we do pray aloud, but not so loudly that "all the restaurant" will hear.

We also do not "BLESS" the food. The blessing is that God has given us food to eat, therefore we give Him thanks.
