And it says, Thank You to our Creator for the gift of family. A husband is a treasure--children are a blessing. Family situations are forever changing as the kids sprout from childhood to adulthood, so a calm family meal is an easy way to seize the day with your fast growing children.
The generation living under our roofs will more than likely treat our grandchildren with the same attention to detail —or neglect— that we model for them, so let's go the extra step and set the table.
Taking the time to
provide a healthy meal around the table takes thought and preparation—even if
it is a simple throw it together meal in a pinch.
Serving the family together around a table says I CARE ABOUT YOU!!! So complete the effort
by setting the table.

choices of placemats and dishes. Setting a table and inviting someone to join you says, I want you in my life. This
teaches them to nurture important
relationships in a natural way over a meal.
