Being Graceful Salt
Matthew 5:13-16

by John P. Jewell

A pastor tells the story of how he and his wife decided to have the church council and the husbands and wives of the council members over to dinner. It was quite an undertaking, but then this pastor and his wife wanted to be salt and light for the leaders of their church. When it came time for dinner, everyone was seated and the pastor's wife asked her four year old daughter if she would like to say grace. The girl replied that she didn't know what to say and the mom said, "Just say what I say, honey." Everyone bowed their head and the little girl said, "O dear Lord, why am I having all these people for dinner!"
