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)

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.
