The Best Seats in Life
Day 269 of 365 • FAMILY
“Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.”
— Proverbs 15:17 (ESV)
Proverb Truth
I’ve sat in some beautiful places over the years. Stadiums. Ballrooms. Special events. But the best seats in life are rarely the expensive ones.
They’re the seats around the dinner table. The seats beside your wife on the porch. The seats next to your children at a ballgame.
Because life is not measured by where we sit. It’s measured by who sits beside us.
Jesus in Action
Jesus shared countless meals with people. He understood the power of tables. Because tables bring hearts together.
Forged Wisdom
Seneca wrote: “The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach.” Many of those blessings are sitting right across the table.
The No Limits Challenge
Don’t rush through dinner tonight. Stay a little longer. Listen a little deeper.
Prayer
Father, thank You for the gift of relationships. Help me treasure the people You’ve placed around my table. Amen.
