As a homeschool family we are home a lot. This is not a bad thing but the day to day life can start to feel stale. With winter on it's way, I have been praying that the Lord would show me little things that I could do to make our home and our day to day life less stuffy and stale feeling.
I have been reading a blog called , The Legacy of Home. From one of her posts I got the idea of lighting a candle at meal times. This is something I do when we have company but why not for my own family?? So, for the past couple of days I have been lighting a candle at lunch time. Yesterday, as I was getting lunch on the table I could feel my children's eyes watching me. I closed the curtains and lit the candle and called them to lunch. As we were sitting down they kept looking at each other and then at the candle. I smiled to myself and thanked the Lord for a simple answer to prayer. Then we sat and talked and ate our GF chicken nuggets, broccoli, watermelon, and GF pretzels, . It was not a fancy, spend hours in the kitchen lunch, but it was made special with the lighted candle.
