The Family Meal
The simple act of eating together as a family is a powerful ritual of family unity. We we make time to sit together and eat either on a daily basis or at least weekly, we make time to connect or reconnect with each other.
In today's hectic life of busily running from one activity to the next, and continual electronic distraction from cell phones, computers, and the internet, we need to make space for elemental human connection. Looking each other in the eye, sharing each other's thoughts, desires, views, and challenges. The meal allows us to affirm our sense of family, our togetherness, our love and care for each other.
So man of us eat based on our schedule and where we happen to be at any given time. Many meals consist of fast food or grabbing something from the drive-thru window, or eating a pizza in front of the television. Take time at least one day a week, to sit around the table and eat together. The meal can be simple, but be sure to put away the cell phones, and turn off the t.v.
Break bread together, enjoy each other's company, bask in togetherness, and celebrate the blessings of life in the moment.
With Love,
