From the youngest to Hubby, hearing what is on the hearts of my family is a very special time of day for me. Sometimes I have to refrain from giggling, like when one child a long time ago asked for an extra big dose of "grace for Presdent 'linton." Other times I'm moved to tears. Just last week, a child who has a long-standing, bitter battle with my oldest asked for her protection and safe return from her trip. A moment of thanks and humility before the Provider of the feast really brings our lives into sharp focus for a few moments. I highly recommend it! <abbr><em>Local Nourishment’s last blog post..<a href="http://localnourishment.wordpress.com/2009/03/06/my-year-of-eating-dangerously/" rel="nofollow">My Year of Eating Dangerously</a></abbr></em> Our large family takes turns saying grace at the dinner table.

It's amazing how so many of us have abandoned traditions altogether -- whether it's food traditions or just family traditions like eating dinner together every night. I'm so thankful that there are others out there working to revive them!
