Discover why Jesus paused to always give thanks before every meal, and let this devotion inspire a grateful heart. Good morning, friend. Before the crowds ever tasted a single crumb of that famous meal by the Sea of Galilee, something quiet happened first. Jesus gave thanks. It was such a simple act, yet it shaped how thousands of people remembered that day. If gratitude mattered enough for the Son of God to pause and give thanks before a miracle meal, it matters for us too, especially at our own ordinary tables.
