If families communicate with one another in love, honesty, and patience, wonderful things occur. There is more peace, more trust, and less misunderstanding. To establish that kind of bond, though, it is wise to keep God right in the middle of all conversations. That does not imply making every conversation into a sermo3n. Rather, it involves using choice words, tones, and attitudes that are proof of faith, grace, and kindness. Following Jesus’ teachings. Those families who make this choice tend to find their bond strengthened over time.br br Bringing God to the dinner table is not about living up to being perfect. It is about living life with God and with one another. In Thom O’Leary Mountainbrook How to Read the Bible, Pastor Thom reminds us, reading the Bible is not simply about reading the words. We’ve got to experience it and live it out. And that process starts right in our own homes, in the mundane conversations about dinner, in the conversations in the car, or right before bedtime.
