The extra seat
As it is told across the land in a state in a town on a block just like this one,a family would gather for dinner,mom,dad and 4 little kids.
Each time they would sit at the table the mom would put down a setting for each of them plus one more.
Now this went on day after day,month after month and year after year,till finally one of the kids asked.
Mom who is the extra place for?,and the mom said that is God's seat,God seat the child asked ,yes said the mom.
Gods seat that He can come down and eat with us so we may learn from Him,so we can hear the stories of our families and all He has led us through.
So time after time through out the years in my house we set a set for God.
