You have a seat at the table 🍞

Some of my warmest childhood memories happened around the dinner table.
The scent of fresh baguettes. Laughter echoing through the room. The joy of being together.
I didn’t realize it then, but something sacred was happening.
That table wasn’t just about food—it was about belonging.
Jesus invites you to a table like that. When He taught us to pray, He said:
“Our Father in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9 NIV) Â
He didn’t say my Father. He said our. From the very first word, Jesus brought us together.
He gave us a place around His Father’s table—yours and mine.
A few years ago, I visited Mount Athos, a deeply traditional Orthodox monastery. As an evangelical, I found everything foreign—icons, incense, chants. But then I felt the Father whisper in my heart:
“They are My children too.”
🧡 There is one table. One Father. And you’re invited to sit down—just as you are.
Today’s miracle thought: You’re not a guest—you’re family.
You are a miracle!
