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 #139 – Strong-Willed and Full of Sin

Around the Supper Table #138 – Perfectionist Paralysis

The writing process can be messy.  In my current job on the farm, I get the privilege of seeing most written pieces before they are posted publicly.  I also get to see people’s anxieties as they hand me work from..... Read More

Around the Supper Table #137 – Overcoming Your Past with Christ

As I sit here right now, unable to sleep with my mind running in circles about the events that unfolded earlier tonight, a thought has come to me that I would like to share.  So, for a little background about..... Read More

Around the Supper Table #136 – Watchman on the Wall

I must confess that I am a watchman, a seer.  People would say that I am like a prophet.  I think prophets speak what they hear from messengers, angels, or straight from God.  Like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Samuel, I just..... Read More

Around the Supper Table #135 – Baby of the Family

In church we talk a lot about how our flesh man is always at war with the spiritual man. Oftentimes Satan uses the flesh part of us to distract us from our relationship with Jesus and our mission in the..... Read More

Around the Supper Table #134 – “Kid” Like Faith

A couple of weeks ago, my mom, Kerah, Bekah, and I were heading back to the house from the barn. On our way there, Kerah spotted a lone baby goat who had wandered away from its mother and the rest..... Read More

Around the Supper Table #133 – Enough is Enough

“Now, enough is enough!”  How many times have you heard this phrase?  When I was a kid, my brother and I would hear this all the time.  It was usually at the dinner table, and we were horsing around.  Mom..... Read More

Around the Supper Table #132 – Complete Remodel
