Making
time for family, taking time to eat. Who
does this anymore? It’s a shame cause I recently was invited for dinner with
friends and their kids. After saying Grace, they began a discussion with their kids
asking them to each describe what the best part of their day was. Then, their Mom and Dad chimed in. Then the
conversation went full circle until it came to me. I said the best part of my
day is this feeling I have right now. Enjoying
a great meal, spending time with great friends but most importanly making
me realize just how special and powerful the dinner table really is.
My friend said to me that she
received a dinner bell as a gift at their
wedding. Since then, just having it present in and around the kitchen, reminds
them everyday what it symbolizes and its power. Having shared this expereince,
I thought this would be a perfect Christams gift. It’s simple, innexpensive, but more importantly it spotlights the importance of family and time spent together.
Happy
Holidays!
