Laughter around our Table is possible because of two things. Gratitude and peace. We are grateful for the food, for those who fixed it, for the nourishment it brings, for the flavor, for the way it looks on the plate, for the family and friends gathered there.
But all of that is for nought if the table atmosphere is tense and cold. In fact, when you are out of fellowship with God or your family and friends, it easy to despise the good food and all that went in to preparing it. Remember the dwarves.
So, in order to laugh well at the table we need gratitude and we need peace. Let us then eat from this Table with gratitude for we are at peace with God and men.
