The Disposition and the Dinner Table
Proverbs 10:1-32
Illustration

"I like to eat at your table," said the young lad. "Somehow the food always tastes better."

"We are always glad to have you with us," said the neighbor lady.

Even the same foods at home don't taste quite as good," effervesced Jerry. "The things you say with what you eat at your table make everything taste better."

Many lessons of life are learned at the dinner table. Not only the food we eat physically but the spiritual food we eat adds beauty to life or may give indigestion.

Solomon said, "The parents have eaten sour grapes and set the children's teeth on edge."

Everywhere Christian leaders, preachers and teachers are needed. The opportunity is great but the laborers are few.

Be sure your meal table breeds optimism, faith and love for God's kingdom. Don't be lazy in your religious endeavors. Don't be easily offended in a good cause.

You may send forth lazy children or real workers for righteousness. Children do reflect their parents. What disposition is developed at your dinner table?
