So I was sitting at the breakfast table, with three of my friends, aware that they are all christians, well sort of... I mean religiously...not really spiritually, so they start eating and I say... "... (and I was only talking to one of my friends, for some reason) you should pray before you eat...you know...just ...respect to God" in the most polite way I said it...and she said "Well I know God and God knows I respect him so ...yeah" and she started eating and I didn't say anything i just started eating and then I thought...why do we pray for our food? I know that I know, but I don't know where in the bible it says, does anyone know where in the bible it says we should bless our food?

this is so sad! can't anyone give me a chapter lol
come on where are my Jesus Freaks up in this bunch! haha I gotta ask my pastor or something.... I looked in the index...got nothing!

1 Timothy 4:3-5
Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Romans 14:6
He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

1 Thess 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Mat 15:36
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake [them], and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Act 27:35
And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken [it], he began to eat.

In other words, we pray and give thanks to God for the blessing of wonderful food He gave us. It is trully a blessing to eat everyday while some (most of the world) does not.

Because your mother and father worked damn hard to put food on that table; or, in Bushes case, bankrupted the treasury even harder to ensure 45 million American went without food even longer....
