A Table Prepared

"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies."
Psalm 23:5

Reflection

God sets a table even in the middle of difficulty. Sitting down to eat together is one of the oldest signs of love there is.

Prayer

Father, thank You for the food and for whoever sits with me. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Who prepares the table in this psalm?
  2. Why is eating together a sign of love?
  3. What makes our family table special?

5-minute activity

Set the table together for dinner with extra care: a napkin fold, a flower or a drawing at each place. Before eating, read the psalm. Read Psalm 23.
