This time of year, is a time for us to remember of things past and look to the promise of the future. When I was kid, I would start celebrating Christmas in August after school started. Then roll Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day all together. Later in life it seemed to get busy and all the celebrations seemed to come and go before you knew it.

So we’ve been renovating, and our dining table has suffered as a result. It has become a catch-all for all manner of stuff. We have found it remarkably challenging to gather around the table for a pleasant meal! Add to the chaos of construction the increasing pace of chasing four kids around the county, and we are finding it even more difficult to maintain the sacredness of a meal together.
But I am convinced- the power of a simple shared meal is worth fighting for.
Have you ever found yourself thrown off course? What about plans canceled or postponed? I’m confident you know the feeling as we find ourselves in a global time of uncertainty. Perhaps you don’t understand why. Why you feel alone. Why you think God isn’t listening. Why you’re finding yourself scared or confused.
There’s a story in the book of Acts where Apostle Paul faced trial and tribulation that led him to the same feelings.
