Family Table

This simple center of our family
is
our
TABLE
I love everything about it
...the familiar feel of its well "loved" surface
...every sprinkle of glitter in the seams
...every scratch from "the flower's" crafty projects
... each dent in the wood from spoon drums at dinner
... each sound of spoonfuls from each bowl at each meal
...every pencil tap during homework time
....each remembered smile across its length
...every friend and guest in every chair
...each sound of prayer uttered there

its
PROOF

our
FAMILY

exists


I love this table
Its imperfections are its beauty
and
I can relate to every grain of that idea
