Most of our family gatherings are like this but that is one reason I like to host - we get to have a little more control over things like saying grace at a meal. <br /><br />And oh, the power of words.

May your positive responses to your friend's negative ways be instrumental in raising his gaze Godward to find the grace you have found. ~~+~~Peter Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529992196266271463noreply@blogger.com
