In summer, when we don't have choir rehearsal on Thursdays, one of our members organizes a monthly night out for anyone interested in dinner and a movie. Last night we saw Monsieur Lazhar, and it was excellent. Really excellent.
At the restaurant before the movie, I suddenly heard JJ (our peerless organizer) say over the chatter and clatter of the busy establishment, "Let me ask you all one question: Are you grateful?"
"Yes!" we answered.
"OK then."
There was laughter from the group, and I realized someone must have asked JJ about saying grace before our meal. Good solution for a noisy environment.

This is all good..all good.
ReplyDeleteI should remember to say grace before a meal. There are so many moments to be grateful for.
Laughter is such a grace too, is it not?
We all pray and find grace in so many different ways.
I think the gift of laughter and the recognition of an abundance of joy is a form of prayer...and there are always times when we need to feel and recognize the goodness and abundance.
I love it! Are you grateful? Yes!!!! Me too. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great group to sing/hang out with !
ReplyDeleteThat is a good solution. I also like the tradition of saying grace after a meal (which almost never happens, at least in my experience). I don't think God particularly minds whether we say grace or not, but doing so is a good reminder for us.
ReplyDeleteThe movie looks great. I'll have to keep an eye out for it on video.
