How We Eat - Practice 2

Meals building community with family and friends: We have become so busy these days that we must find ways to multitask everything. It is difficult to sit down to eat without doing something else. At least once during this week, take a shot at sitting down with friends and family just to eat. Set aside an hour or more for everyone just to enjoy the act of eating together. Do not waver from this time even if you finish eating before time is up. This is fantastic time to build community. Take time to slow the meal down, don’t just woof it all down and be done. Pause between bites to talk and share. Let the meal last a while. Think about how many times in the gospels food or a meal is involved. There is so much ministry to be had around the table. Share food with each other. Consider your blessings. Look at each person around the table and relish the fact that you are children of God and you have been fed today.
