Adult Blogger: BANGBROSNETWORK BANG BROS NETWORK Here we do. When I was a very little girl my Dad was a minister. We used to pray long prayers at every meal. One day that changed. It has stayed changed ever since. Dad says that the most powerful prayer anyone can say is two words long. Thank you. He also says that every time you say those two words it is a prayer of gratitude. Around here we turn to each person present and say Thank you."
She turned to Pam at her right and said, "Thank you." Pam turned to Eric, "Thank you." When it got back to Megan she said "Thank you" back and it went back around in the other direction. Rina was sitting next to Pete. When he said "Thank you" to her she smiled. When it came back she said, "Thank you" and kissed him.
As everyone started eating Pete said, "I've never known a prayer like that. I even got kissed!"
I took that as a cue. "As I see spirituality it is personal and physical as well as metaphysical. When people kiss who are intentional about their spirituality they are consciously connecting with another. Acknowledging the connection we all have to each other. Saying Thank you expresses gratitude to each person for being a part of our life."
