I understand that not many families are enjoying eating meals together. We’re missing out on some vital family dynamics. Problem solving, conflict resolution, making amends, learning about the art of conversing and coping- yes, these skills can be acquired at the kitchen table. I admit often it’s easier being busy, rather than facing our generational giants. But this requires our presence and participation in the name of sharing a meal!
Things are swiftly changing with this fast food age of eating on the run. We miss out on important family matters when we aren’t sharing, conversing and connecting with each other at a sacred mealtime. We’ll imagine having a spiritual mealtime, where you can be reacquainted with God? An actual time or moment to converse (pray) with God!
How can this be you wonder? Actually experiencing time where we can abandon our many life’s concerns and partake in a soul liberating feast? Oh I contend it can happen when we carve out our time with God to pray, meditate, worship. This meal will allow us to seek spiritual direction and garner tremendous results. Our spirits will concur, “ Ok, I got it!” and we’ll know we’re in God’s care. You’ll then understand fully what it means to feast on God’s word. You arrive often and discover that your personal issues won’t block your opportunity to dine.
Go ahead, exhale and release the cares of this world. We are all invited to the table, read your Bibles and Holy Scripture –the feast is going on and the table is spread! Wholesome spiritual food awaits you and me. Feeling hungry in your soul? Nourishment waits you. There’s a place at the table and company of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost will entreat you. Living water flows freely! No need to feel or be malnourished anymore my friends!
There you and your families will feast in the presence of the LORD your God,
and you will rejoice in all you have accomplished because the LORD your God has blessed you.

Deu 12:7
Hyatt Moore - The Last Supper with Twelve Tribes
Master Painter, Hyatt Moore did an outstanding job of capturing Christ’s humanity and divinity in his creative and timely interpretation of The Last Supper. It’s evident from this artist interpretation that all are welcome, not a soul is excluded. Enjoy Hyatt’s video in which he eloquently expresses the love that Christ has for all of us. Cultural Diversity is present! Imagine the disciples are a reflection of who we are and to whom we belong. There’s room at the table. Thank you Lord. This calls for a celebration hymn. Sing along with Richard Smallwood & Vision. Grab your seat and as folks say, “take a load off your feet and sit on down!”
Richard Smallwood & Vision - Feast of the Lord/At The Table
Lyrics of Richard Smallwood’s Feast of the Lord/At The Table
Come on in where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
Come on in where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
Come on in where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
Come on in where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
Joy is here where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
Joy is here where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
(Seekin' healing for your body) It's over here
(Seekin' healing for your soul) Over here
(Seekin' for your souls' salvation) It's over here
(If you want the Lord to make you whole!) Over here
Love is here where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
Love is here where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
(If you need more strength and more power) It's over here
(relief from your burden and your pain) Over here
(Seekin' for some joy in your sorrow) It's over here
(feast and you will never be the same) Over here
Peace is here where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
Peace is here where the table is spread
and the feast of the Lord is going on
It's here right now
want you need is waiting at table!
It's here right now
want you need
At the table, At the table, At the table
At the table, it's here!
At the table, At the table, At the table
At the table, it's here!
