I have to say that my favorite time of the day is when I get to sit down at the dinner table with my family. I just love all the great conversations, silly jokes, and family time.
About two months ago I bought a daily devotional book for the kids and when I brought it home and started reading it I realized that it was geared towards everyone.. Obviously it was great for the kiddos but I knew Ted and I could benefit from reading it as well. That night we started a new family tradition where one of us reads the devotional of the day from the book out loud and then we talk about it as a family.
Seriously, it has completely changed dinner time for us. Ive always loved sitting down as a family but now having God the main focus of our nightly dinner is even better. He is working through our family to help us become closer, better ourselves, and open our eyes to how each other thinks about things. Its truly amazing.
Tonight was one of those nights that I believe we will remeber for the rest of our lives. The conversation at the table was so deep and hearing Devin share some of the things he thought and is doing in his life made me so stinkin proud of him! I am so thankful to God for blessing me with more then I could have ever imagined!
I love this new tradition we have and I hope Ted and I set a good example for our kids and someday they will pass it along to their familys.
