“There are so many things I wish I’d done differently while raising my daughters, but sitting together at the family table isn’t one of them.”
I spoke those words in response to a question I’m asked often.
Today my three beautiful daughters are grown with husbands and children of their own, and I’m often asked by younger moms, “What are the things you did right?”
Near the top of my list (headed by trusting Christ) is the importance of family mealtime.
In the chairs around our table, significant things happened that shaped, healed, and brought joy to our lives.
Your family may be busy, big, small, or even broken. But the same can be true for you.
When you understand the importance of family mealtime, you have a great tool for encouraging and shaping the children in your home. That’s why I wrote Prioritizing the Heart of Family Mealtime over at The Joyful Life Magazine.
I even included some great conversational starters for kids!
