Around the Supper Table

image

We gather around our supper table daily to share with family. Not only do we enjoy the hugs and laughter, but it gives us an opportunity to share our journey with each other so that we can strengthen and encourage one another.

We have created this blog in hopes that our struggles, and sometimes revelations, can help you. We know that life can be difficult, but it is only through Him that we “live, and move, and have our being . . .” as stated in Acts 17:28. He hasn’t taken our struggle from us, but He has given us purpose in our struggles that we may help each other. We appreciate feedback and prayer requests.

In Matthew 11:28-30 it reminds us to, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Around the Supper Table #79 – The Cost of Friendship

Check the box, ring the bell, I walked to the front of the church, prayed the sinner’s prayer, and was baptized shortly thereafter. I can remember the feel of the conviction to give my heart to Christ like it was..... Read More

Around the Supper Table #78 – Wait on God

16 Dec, 2021
I think that sometimes whenever God says, “Not right now,” it’s almost more difficult than a “No.”  I’m a very all-or-nothing person.  I’ve always been like that, so when God says, “Not right now.  Wait.” I really struggle. It’s like..... Read More

Around the Supper Table #77 – Abandoning My Obligation
