After so many sunday dinners, I am just about fed up with the blessing of the food. The whole family is Mo, except for me and my hubby, who was raised Lutheran, not Mormon. Every time we have a blessing on the food, they call on all the other "patriarchs" of the family, but never my husband, since he's not Mo. He is the best damn bil any of my sisters have. He has built all of the nieces cedar chests, just bought new tires for one of their mini vans (since they could not afford with their 4 kids) and built a bathroom in another sister's house so they could sell and move to a better part of the city. Plus he put a sprinkler system into my parents home, and recently fixed an electical problem so their furnace would work. They have no problem bringing their boy scout troops down the firestation where he works for tours....but he can't say a blessing of the food because he doesn't hold the priesthood.
It chaps my hide that after everything he has done for my family, they can't respect him enough to say a blessing. The man even knows The Lords Prayer in German! I think I'm going to speak up at the next dinner. I've had enough.
