Tough Questions From Kids ~ Why do we have to thank God at every meal when He already knows we're thankful?

Thanking God for food reminds us to be thankful for all that God gives us. Sometimes we think we are thankful when we really aren't. Pausing to give thanks helps us renew our thankfulness. If we just sit down and eat without thanking God every time, we can easily forget to be thankful. We can forget that out food comes from God.

It is also nice thing to do. We give thanks to God because He is our friend and He has done something kind to us.
