We love traditional Sunday dinners....especially my husband. Seems when we were both young, that Sundays were days to have big dinners with extended family...to visit and have fun. Sometimes, it would just be us for a long, leisurely meal without anyone having to be anywhere afterwards. Today was one of those days.....
After church this morning, the kids and I came home for a quick lunch and then relaxing time. Everyone did quiet activities and Ron & I watched/discussed a biblical teaching dvd by Jim Sammons. ( more about that later....it was so good!)
Ron wanted roast chicken, so we did! Roast chicken, carrots, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy....yum! To my very old-fashioned, traditional husband Sunday dinners usually include mashed potatoes and gravy! LOL
Sara spent quite a bit of time making a gluten free spice cake for dessert with 7 minute frosting.....oh, my goodness is this good! Both of the girls have been baking a lot lately, both gluten free and normal baking. Having dessert on a Sunday just makes it that much more special.~We have truly been blessed by opening our home to family and friends for traditional Sunday dinners....it has taught our daughters hospitality, cooking and baking skills, conversational skills...and to actively look to be a blessing to others in our home. I will readily admit, that there are Sundays that are needed for rest and reflection only, but the Lord leads clearly in this area and we are open to however He leads....opening our home or it just being our little family. May I encourage you to pray about opening your home for some traditional Sunday dinners....sharing (or starting) the tradition and blessing others with your hospitality. May your Sabbath be blessed! ~Sue~
