Summary
The table is central to the everyday moments of our lives, even when we are busy, or find ourselves stretched in the midst of seasons that require much from us. Feasting goes on! It is also the anchor to much of our milestones and family celebrations. In this episode, Sally and Kristen discuss Chapters 7 and 8 of the Life Giving Table and offer their own tips for how to create for simple feasts when life is overwhelming or we are short on time. They also share how each of their families create traditions with food and fellowship to mark life's special moments.
What we Talk about:
-Living Well in the midst of daily choas and real life
-How we can train ourselves to see God's gentle hand of provision in our lives
-How to live sustainably in pressured seasons
-How to bear weariness that comes from what God is calling you to do
-The ways we each add beauty to our homes to encourage our hearts (and those of our families)
-How to stop waiting for the ideal and learn to enjoy the moment.
-Our favorite staples, recipes and tricks for feasting simply or when we have little time.
-Our family traditions and celebration rituals
-Birthdays in the life of the Clarkson Family
-How to create a blessing celebration in your own family
-The way God blesses us through words of affirmation, and how we can do the same with those at our table
