For more years than I care to admit the members of my family ate our meals in an impromptu manner, sitting wherever we felt like sitting. We would often eat on the go, at different times. One or more of us would eat our evening meal parked in front of the television in the TV room. Another or perhaps two could be found eating at the kitchen counter, or with a TV tray in a living room chair. We seldom ate together except during "special" meals such as Thanksgiving or Christmas. In fact, our dining room table was often too cluttered for us to even think about serving a meal there.
About three years ago I suggested that we start eating supper together at the dining room table. Granted, we don't eat breakfast or lunch together as a family due to differing work/school schedules. But we now have a practice of eating supper together each day at the dining room table. It's turned out to be a very enjoyable family time! We discuss school activities, work things, sports, yard work, weather, and all manner of other small talk. I would highly recommend it for those who don't eat as a family each day at the same table.

Next on the agenda: Prayer before meals. We don't do this. We should. And we will!
