Hi All,
Have you ever wondered the benefits of having dinner together as one big family everyday? I am sure all of us do it but it has become more of a routine for us then appreciating the blessing of those moments and thanking God for the good food and happy family. As kids me and my sister had to make our mom call us multiple times for us to reach the dinner table and digest the idea of finishing the food our mom served. As we grew up we realized how important the whole idea was. Its the best time for each family member to share about how their day went, compliment the food prepared and plans things for the weekend or just talk about anything. The most important thing that is happening here which we always fail to notice- we are spending the best quality time with our family without any interruptions.
In today's busy world where sometimes different members arrive at different times due to work timings and all, I have noticed each member having dinner at different times. I am not saying we are doing it on purpose as sometimes there are unavoidable reasons but I would like to stress the importance of having dinner together as one big family. The benefits of it is something you will not realize but will be incorporated into your life on a consistent basis. Then there comes the most usual pattern of having dinner- a combination of watching a movie or TV show and having dinner together. Friends, you might be sitting together in this dinner, but if you think about it is it giving you the same feeling or benefit you would have had if you were just sitting next to one another and sharing a conversation about how your day went or some problem you faced that day or a funny little incident that happened, where all of you can share a laugh together. What a blessed moment will that be! Just sitting in front of the TV, gluing your eyes to the big screen, lazy to get the next serve in fear of missing a scene, lazy to pause and then go and take the second serve and then coming back and continuing the movie, don't you feel you are missing on an entire opportunity of sharing quality time with your family. I am not saying I am completely against the idea and I don't have the right to say as well as even in our house we do that sometimes. There are days when we feel like watching a movie rather than just sitting and talking and friends I tell you, I regret that almost everytime:) So we try our best to delay watching the movie after dinner as much as possible. Again I am not saying you will have great and interesting topics to share and have a big laugh every single day, but I can assure you that you will never regret the decision of having dinner together with your family or friends ever in your life. Yes it is true sometimes you will have to listen to some lectures at the dinner table from your seniors about what to do and what not to do and which can drive you crazy :) But will you going and changing places ever stop that lecture following you afterwards. No right? So just try your best and enjoy the food.
That's all for now friends, so as much as possible lets all make sure we have dinner together as one big family as it will make your life so much happier.
Thanks,
