“A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God.†(Ecclesiastes 2:24). You will find true happiness when you break bread with those who are close to you. The cup of your life will run over with joy when you spend happy times with family and friends.
True joy of living awaits you on your doorstep each day. All you have to do is to make each time that you break bread or visit with friends and family a festive occasion. Treat everyone sharing your meal as a special guest. Each one has come into your life to lighten your burdens and to ease your way.
By the way, if you are far from your loved ones today, take a lesson from the early Christians. They reserved a seat for the living Lord at their communion table. Why don't you do that. Invite the Lord to be the Guest at your table, even if you're having a simple piece of bread only. There is no doubt that He will accept your invitation to celebrate with you! He is sure to free you from your feelings of loneliness today.
Remember: Heavenly joy is to be among those who are dear to you.
