Psalm 100: 4 –5

A while ago, before I started attending church, I had the opportunity to spend some time with my daughter. Since my wife and son were out of town, I decided to take her out to dinner. Her favorite place was not my choice but I went with her wishes. Not only did we have a good time together, but I came away with a special blessing as we were about to leave.

 At the table beside us, a family of three, a father mother and daughter, were about to eat. The little three or four year old girl started getting a little vocal as she tried to get her parents attention.  She pleaded with them that they needed to ask the blessing first, to which they folded their hands, bowed their heads and the little girl spoke to God and asked Him to bless the food. This little girl’s willingness to ask grace was a true witness to me.

          What a lesson this has become.  Like the Bible says, “Out of the mouths of babes…”  No matter our age or where we are, it is right to give our thanks and praise.
