“Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.”
At God's table, the main dish was never the food; it is the love. Herbs with peace outweigh a feast with resentment.
A full house can be cold, and a simple house warm. What people remember is not the menu; it is how they felt.
The table reveals a home's true temperature. Watch tonight's dinner: is it hurry and silence, or eye contact and conversation?
Chasing the fattened ox can cost the very love the table was meant to serve. Choose presence before abundance.
Peace is the seasoning that transforms any meal. Where Christ presides at the table, even plain bread becomes a feast.
Act: make this morning's breakfast a screen-free table. Sit down, look at each person, and ask one real question.
