At the Dinner Table

Those who have read my posts know I do get flippant. I guess this is another one but let’s please look at it a little deeper.

When I was in boot camp, we all looked forward to mealtime. It was not just a time where we could eat, it was also a time when we could relax. Other than when we slept it was virtually the only time we could take it easy for about 15 minutes.

Far more than that, us humans are social. We never like eating alone. When we look across the table, we prefer to have someone looking back. I would suspect, besides my own experience, most everyone will agree with me, even those psychologists.

Most of us also agree it is good for a family to sit around the table at least once a day, preferably twice. It strengthens bonds and provides a feeling of belonging.

I’m old. It won’t be long I will be with the master, the creater of the universe. I will be able to dine with Him. I think that will then be my favorite place of all.
