Table Topics
Mind-stretching brain games and conversation starters. It's the perfect opportunity for sharing stories, building knowledge, strengthening character, and having fun!
Do you ever make a to-do list for recording the tasks you plan to accomplish?
Instead, make a list of the things that you have already accomplished or things
that are so automatic that you don’t even need to think about them.
For example, I never need to think about how to get hot water for my bath. I
simply turn on the tap and heated water comes out. Centuries ago (or even today
in different cultures) sitting in a tub of hot water took careful planning.
Name some other things that we have the privilege of taking for granted.

Do, Love And Hope
Benjamin Franklin once said, "Enemies do man more good than harm. They
point out to us our faults; they put us upon our guard; and help us to live
more correctly. The best men have always had their share of envy and malice
of the foolish and wicked, and a man has therefore some reason to be ashamed
of himself when he meets with none of it. My good friend Rev. Whitefield
once said, When I am on the road and see boys in a field pelting a tree,
though I am too far off to know what tree it is, I conclude it has fruit on
it."
How do you feel about this idea? Can you think of ways that your enemies
have actually helped you?
(Of course, a person wouldn’t intentionally create an enemy!)
