So Tuesday night dinner is
a little something that started when I was in college. A pastor from our church
and his wife used to invite a bunch of us college students over for dinner so
that at least once a week we could have a good home-cooked meal. It gave me a
little bit of community where I needed it most. Well, here I am, a wife and
mother of three little people who sees a need here in my town for community so
the Man and I decided that once a month we would invite couples in our church
over for dinner who just needed a night to connect. We invited people that we
knew were in the same place in life as we are (i.e., young children, busy
schedules) but we left the invitation open to each of these people to invite
others who may need to connect. And so Tuesday night dinners began. (They used
to be on Monday, so if I ever type Monday Night Dinner, that’s why!) Now once a
month (every week would take a miracle) we fill our house with 25+ adults and
an even larger number of children and we provide a “main course” and most
people bring a side, drinks or a dessert. It is so much fun and we all just
talk, let our kids play and do life together. It is wild… wildly refreshing. We
all need community, we need people around us to see our good and our bad and
then just be okay with it. God created us for fellowship and I am so glad He
did. I get to hang out with some of the most amazing people I know because of
it!
