Of Greetings and Goodbyes

I'm a big fan of community and today i'm disgusted with what i'm forced to witness in many households across the United States. Memories are becoming a thing of the past within family settings. I'm talking about memories created by being with the ones you love in a atmosphere fashioned to bring about thanksgiving. Something as simple as sitting down and dining with friends and family has become a thing of the past. Sure people still eat together, but eating together and sharing a meal together are two completely different things. A meal brings about special moments, it reminds us of the quality of our lives together. A meal identifies relationships and creates true fellowship. Most important, a meal takes time. Time is something held in high regard in todays world. Time is important. A meal should be important. I love being able to take part in communion around the dinner table. If i know you and i have not had the chance to eat a meal with you please get in contact with me and i'll see what i can do. Can we please make the table a hospitable place again? Can we please use that hospitable place to create beautiful memories with one another?

Have a Meal
