Let mealtimes be mealtimes, a time of connecting with each other, delighting in each other's company and the good food. Have your time in the word either after dinnner, or some other time altogether. Mealtimes ought to be a time of building the family as family, along its own distinctives. Scripture study/devotional time ought to be that, and not distracted by things like food, and the inevitable discussions a family will have, which are healthy and needful in and of themselves. Sounds like an attempt at multi-tasking, both activities being of low enough priority they can share the timeslot. Make time for BOTH these critically needful activities, undistracted by competition. Healthier that way. But please, do NOT think I am minimising the importance of the study/devotion time. In fact, I value it so highly I am saying DO IT... all by itself so as to have everyone's undivided attention given it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21365935.post-23751385381359041512009-02-26T11:39:00.000-06:002009-02-26T11:39:00.000-06:00This seems like a compelling approach.But practica...This seems like a compelling approach.<BR/><BR/>But practically, I wonder how doable this is if, as in my family, we have a number of young children, and much of our time is simply spent feeding and ensuring that children are eating, etc. And only one of our children is of reading age, and only two of them can really comprehend.<BR/><BR/>That said, I think I'm willing to give it a shot...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21365935.post-17990498505091954912009-02-25T14:29:00.000-06:002009-02-25T14:29:00.000-06:00I was brought up in a family where family devotion...I was brought up in a family where family devotions was practiced, my fiancee wasn't and now as we discuss out future home we realise how important it is!
