No one has ever said anything or even looked at us funny. But, if they did, I would have to tell them that my God takes precedence over them and they shouldn't be eavesdropping on our table anyway. I would never apologize for my faith nor would anyone else I have these luncheons with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always say Grace when eating out, even if I am by myself. No one really ever commented, but if they did, they could just keep walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, how would you know unless you tried? Would God rather you walk on by or would He want you to share His story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 9:26 26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.

I interrupted the prayer. I invited the person and their party to dinner. We shared a meal and stories. They may not have " heard " the Gospel, but I am certain that they saw evidence of Christ's love in my family, in whom I am thankful for each and every day. God touches us all in His way, and uses us sometimes to touch others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
