The kitchen table

Have you ever pondered the function of the kitchen table?

Of course, it is there for displaying food for your family. But I say the lowly kitchen table is lowly no more! The kitchen table holds together the fabric of our lives.

Where do good friends go to relax over a cup of tea to talk? The kitchen table. Good friends don't sit politely in the living room. They dish out the truth, pain, and love at the kitchen table.

Where are the family meals eaten? At the kitchen table. The mundane, daily comings and goings are discussed, but so also the serious, life-changing events of our lives.

Where do we perform the tasks of balancing the checkbook, or writing the Christmas cards and thank-you notes, or pull the all-nighter for that important test? The kitchen table.

So, I say to you - clear off the kitchen table and bring it back where it belongs - holding together the fabric of our lives.
