around the table

One of my most favorite things in the whole world is the time my family spends sitting around the table talking after we eat a meal together. We talk about everything from politics to dirty diapers; from our relationships with Christ to shooting skeet. We laugh, we cry, we yell - most of it loudly. We debate against one another and we pray together. Whether it be just 7 of us after breakfast in a hotel lobby, or at mom and dad's around the big round table that dad made to seat all 17 of us; those are the moments I cherish, those are the connections I crave, and I can hardly wait until we are together again.
