Bless this food

After work I went to see my friend Mat who is in the hospital recovering from surgery. His dinner arrived while I was there and he whispered, "I'm going to bless my food". He bowed his head and offered a simple and humble prayer to bless his macaroni and cheese, tomato soup, salad, and tapioca pudding.

It was a sweet reminder for me to pray always.

If you talk to him again, wish him the best from us! I've been praying for him nightly. Thanks for the uplifting story.

Very sweet.
And who couldn't feel thankful for tapioca pudding?

Now if some of that goodness would just rub off on me. Actually, if I'd have to get cancer to get it ... never mind!
