Mar. 10, 2006 - Dinner Tables
Does anyone use them anymore? My teenage son was complaining to me because we use ours together every night. If someone is going to be late, then we eat late. If we need to eat earlier, then we eat early. What is so wrong with the idea, of eating a meal together? My son said that in his class there were only two other kids who ate occasionally with their parents, like maybe once a week. So he feels that because we eat together daily, its a punishment because nobody else does it. Punishment, I am so frustrated with the world. That it has become punishment to enjoy a meal together, discussing our days is beyond disbelief for me. I think the question we should be asking is what has happened to this world, that eating dinner together is not something that is normal, and is considered punishment?
Well I guess God calls us to be different from the world so here I am, punishing my children, refusing to give up eating together and going against the "norm".
