School and work, your kids’ practices and games, even church and community events keep us busy from the time we wake up until we fall into bed at night. We sacrifice our finances, time, and energy for the sake of family; but what price are we paying?
Thankfully there is a place we can gather and enjoy life . . . TOGETHER. It’s at the table! The Table Experience is full of deep insights and practical applications that will stimulate readers’ intellect and inspire their creativity so that they can enjoy table get-togethers and create emotional bonds that will last a lifetime!
Everyone should read this book! The table is where relationships are made. It is vital to the fabric of the family and society that we break bread together. During the pandemic, I have made it a priority like no other time in my life, to have dinner together as a family. My three teenage boys, and even my husband sometimes, would rather eat in their bedrooms or in the living room, but I insist we eat at the table together at least 5/7 nights a week. I tell them this is our half hour to be a family every day -otherwise we are just roommates. We have also started playing card or board games after dinner. At first they grumbled about it and now they demand a game after dinner! It has been what has pulled us through this pandemic. It is a tradition, simple, but so necessary. We connect, we joke, we fight, we discuss and we are fed. It is is vital to have that family connection- it is what makes up greater society. We, as a country, need to turn off the screens for half an hour and sit at a table with our children, eat a nutritious meal, and laugh with one another. It is healing.
