thanks!
ill be posting something like that if thats ok..
food for thoughts...:)
me too, i like it
one of my frustrations of late is making time for family meals. The kids are getting older and seeking independance. The family meal and the devotions after that is something I need prayer with to get back on track.It is SO important to gather together as a family unit.

In a study of 527 teens, those who ate dinner with their families at least five times a week were “less likely to do drugs or be depressed, more motivated at school and had better peer relationships,” says Canada’s Toronto Star newspaper. “Teens labelled as ‘not well-adjusted’ ate with their families three or fewer days a week.” Psychologist Bruce Brian asserts that the family dinner hour is “a trait of a healthy family.” Dining together fosters family bonds, communication skills, and a sense of belonging, notes the report, and provides an opportunity to learn table manners and to share in conversation, humor, and prayer. One grown daughter of a family who regularly ate together says that if they had not always done so, “I don’t think I’d be as close to them as I am now.”
