Family at Dinnertime !

“Exactly what that great meal… tells you”

Hello everyone , I’d like to discuss the fact that “A good home cooked meal”, says “I Love You” 😇😄 this is the perfect example of that old saying “Action speaks louder than words” having dinner together as a family unit, makes for a very strong Family indeed. I personally feel as though , Families are suffering due to the fact that, people don’t take the time to, sit down and “Eat together”, anymore. When I was a Child, in my household everyone ate dinner at 6:00.😄

Because we had eight people to feed, “six Children and 2 Adults”, you wanted to be present for dinner if at all possible due to the fact that, things were tight because for a certain amount of time, my mom was a stay at home mom, and my Stepdad was the only one bringing in a “Paycheck”. Therefore if you were late ( the older children), it was possible that you wasn’t able get everything that was prepared for that day or, maybe you’d have to get small portions.

Here’s the thing, more than simply nourishing our bodies and filling our bellies, Dinnertime was Family time. 😂😇💜 That’s when everyone discussed how things were going with them, any important events were discussed, and we laughed and talked and we could talk with our Mom and Stepdad about things that needed to be discussed. So other than eating, dinner time was “Love time”, there is nothing like having your family gathered together at a table of “ good food”💝🤗

Unfortunately people have gotten away from that old tradition 😑, nowadays Everyone’s so busy doing everything but, Spending quality time with their family. For one thing, nowadays every household needs at the very least, “Two incomes”, in order to make ends meet. Ok now another thing is, there are so very many “ Fast food/take out establishments”, now that people tend to go that route, because everyone is in a hurry now to do everything.!! 😌 A great deal of people, are trying to have a lot of “Stuff/ material things, the biggest house, the nicest cars, and working for the “Material things, takes everyone away from the “Family dinner hour”. Not realizing that, the time we lose with our family and friends, can Never be gotten back !!

This is why I absolutely Adore the Television Series “The Blue bloods”

The Creator of that Television Series, “Gets it”. For the record, I think that Tom Selleck is absolutely gorgeous,🙃😄 I’ve always watched whatever he was playing in, I also think he’s actually a very good “Actor as well” So this show really does it for me. I do believe that, the World really would be a better place, if we “ brought back the tradition of, sitting down together at Dinnertime”. However, in this day and age, everything is hurry up, rush rush, I want things done, right away!! 😱 We have no patience anymore.😑

Only time people gather together nowadays is “Holidays, Weddings, etc. and even then, they can’t wait for the day to come to and end. ( Generally speaking) I say let’s try and come together as often as we can, at Dinnertime.better yet let’s begin to try and have “Sunday Family dinners” at least every other “Sunday”. Remember the series called “Soul food”, where the family always got together to eat and embrace) support one another on “Sundays” ??. I’ll try and refresh your memory .

Alright i think you all get the PICTURE lets get back to whats important……………………..💜😄
