What do you talk about as you eat dinner with your family.
Hopefully, you do eat dinner with your family.

Do you ask questions of your children? Do you discuss your day? Their day?

Do you allow them to hear you vent? Is your venting destructive about someone else?

Dinner time conversation is great for young people. They do not act like it…but it’s where they are on equal footing conversationally.
You can reveal your character to them…and they to you.

Be careful that you do not spew on them any anger or frustration too often. They may feel that spewing is what adults do about other adults.

Be yourself… But operate around your dinner table as if Christ were at one of the settings.

Encourage the conversation.

But, be aware and beware the other occupants at your table hear your words and your inflections….
and your expressions.
They are learning who you are and what you think….in private, relaxed moments.

You are always teaching whether you know it or not.
