I love the book Around the Table by Sharon Fleming and highly recommend it. This is a must read for families. (In fact, I bought this book for every family in my local church!)

Sharon relates through stories and practical advice how to raise a godly family. She says she’s addressing one aspect of the Christian family, the time around the table, but really it’s so much more. As you read this book you will see the tremendous value and potential of meal times to enjoy the love of family, to instill Christian values, communication skills, manners and godliness. Sharon will inspire you to set your priorities, start new traditions and have fun as you press forward in raising your family. She deals honestly with struggles and difficulties and offers many ideas to help in those areas. Consider Sharon your personal coach sitting next to you urging you on as you raise your family.

I love this book because much of what I learned about God and life was learned around the table growing up. That specific table was built by my grandfather and could seat four or, after the leaves were added, twelve. It was there I learned the love of family, the love of God, the love of the brethren, the love of the Word, the love of hospitality, the love of fun and more. Today I have that table and use table time for building authentic relationships where love is. I would like to see those traditions continued and generations go on for God. I read this book and was encouraged to press on and be creative. I hope it will do the same for you!

Hi Friends! Thanks for stopping by!

I (Nancy) have been writing lessons I'm learning and encouraging thoughts God is giving me as I care for mom. (If I don't write them, I will forget!) I haven't written regularly, or often, as life is very full, but recently I've heard from friends who are going through similar circumstances and appreciate these. (Thanks for your encouragements!) Craig created an "I Care" tab in which all these specific thoughts will be placed if you would like to read them. Each of us is, after all, a caregiver! May God help us to care!
