So for the rest of this day, I’ll be getting texts from 17 other people responding to this prayer request.

Edit: Other than the initial flurry of hearts and replies pictured below, it’s actually been pretty quiet, thank goodness.

My family likes to pray before meals. SiL started doing this thing with the kids where everyone has to go around and thank jeebus for something he almost certainly didn’t do.

the SiL takes five or ten minutes. mostly for shit like “and thank you for the every one having a job and thank you for so-and-so who did something or another that entertained my kids for five minutes” by which time the food has been on plates and cold.

Pretty sure Jesus would, like, admonish them for, you know, not eating. ‘hey look, you can do that later. just bless the food and dig in. its not hard. and that smells amazing… can I have some?’ (that last part is how you know she didn’t cook anything.)
