Family Gatherings..

Family gatherings can do much to unite family members, especially if they no longer live in the same house.
Jesus and his disciples attended a wedding feast in Cana , doubtless a large gathering of family and friends.
{ John 2:1-10 }

And in Jesus' illustration of the prodigal son , the father celebrated his son's return with a family banquet, which included music and dancing.
{ Luke 15:21-25}

Enjoying a Good Meal.

The Bible frequently speaks's of God's servants as enjoying good food with family, friends, or fellow worshipers.

When three angles visited Abraham,
he prepared a feast for them that included beef, milk, butter, and round cakes.
{ Genesis 18:6-8 }

Solomon described 'eating, drinking, and rejoicing' as a gift from God.
{ Ecclesiastes 3:13, 18:15 }

Clearly, God wants us to enjoy good food in the company of friends and family, and he approves of gift giving.
We have ample opportunity to do that any time throughout the year.
