Grace (some time after 2003)
My previous
tenants (Rea and Jan Hinch) invited me over to dinner. Unlike mom and dad,
dinner was not at 6 pm, closer to 7:30 or 8 pm. We had appetizers. I had a
Pepsi or two and they had ‘drinks’ before dinner. This particular night the
grill was not cooking properly, so they had more drinks than usual. Around 8 pm,
dinner was ready so we sat down at the table and held hands while Rea said
grace. All was normal until he said, “ … and make us needful of the minds of
others. Amen.” (He never hesitated.)
Jan and I started immediately laughing. And, every time I go over for dinner, I
have to remind Rea “Yes we are needful of the minds of others. Just not his
after he has been drinking!”
