"Wedding in Skagen" by Anna Archer“The sharing of meals has too often been neglected and is commonly now thought to be a trivial or less important part of the home, education, or community life. I believe such ignorance is serious and has caused the collapse of one of life’s foundations. It does not take up too much time; it is a thread that holds life together....
“Ah, how one looks forward to this satisfying regular part of life…Nothing can replace this day-in, day-out pattern. NOTHING…! Relationships are forged around the table. It is a vital part of life.”
~Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, For the Family’s Sake
"Nothing can replace this day-in, day-out pattern. NOTHING…! "
ReplyDeletei *love* that.. it is so true. with little ones scintillating dinner conversation is usually little more than a fond remembrance, but that doesn't mean that dinner together is less important♥
Family time around a meal is a great memory maker. Hopefully the time of fellowship is sweet!
ReplyDeleteWe treaure our meal times greatly, it is usually louder than I'd like (8 boys) but I'm blessed to be able to prepare our meals and gather my children around the table each evening. Their favorite part of dinner besides the food is taking turns sharing "best things today".
