I don't see anything wrong with a word of thanks you Lord for the meal, eyes open, head up, and getting ready to eat. But to make a public display as I see people do I have to ask myself "Who is getting the attention?" I can only think of how the Pharasees did and how Christ got on to them about it. that's just my thoughts doug

You mean so you can be very careful no one knows you pray? Or why is it not proper to bow, give glory to our God who provides for all of our needs and to not care whether others around are noticing or not? Is it acceptable to base our behavior on what others may be thinking and to fall into their mold?
Just a thought! Actually I never notice if anyone is watching or not but just do what is in my heart and allow the onlookers to do the same! The goal always is to glorify God!
