I just have to say that Brennan Manning is perhaps my all-time favorite author. I love that quote!

Hope you’re doing well!

that was just so inspiring, I’m glad you posted that. I was expecting a bunch of home decor, which I am totally addicted to….but I’m stealing your idea. I have a great cut glass bowl to boot for the conversation starters. God Bless You. and the quote……….whoa, something I’ve been thinking a lot about. I’ll be stopping back.

I love, love, love this! We bought a box of questions called “Table Talk,” I think. When we finished the box, it never occurred to me to write my OWN! See, this is why I need you! Thank you!

Thanks. I’ll look forward to that. Last night’s first use of our new jar was a big hit.

@Nancy, I have many posts with Conversations Starters sprinkled through the archives, but here’s one where I listed a bunch of questions for Thanksgiving. These are a probably for elementary age and up, but you can tweak them.

I am working on typing up ALL FIVE HUNDRED questions in a PDF file with ideas on how to give these as gifts….it will be coming…sometimes. It will have a variety of levels – questions for little ones to adults.

hi ladies…so thrilled that you’ve been inspired by our Family Conversations Jar. I have many posts with Conversations Starters sprinkled through the archives, but here’s one where I listed a bunch of questions for Thanksgiving. These are a probably for elementary age and up, but you can tweak them for little ones. Besides…your kids LOVE to hear you tell your story. That’s what matters to them (even if they don’t say it.)

What a great idea with the conversation jar. I have two young kids and it seems there is always something to talk about, but I will definitely keep this in mind to use as a trick later on. I am a big fan of family dinners and look forward to being at the table with all of us together at least once during the day. Thanks for sharing. First time commenting, but I’m reading!!!

So true, just sitting and chatting creates wonderful family memories. Our dinner conversation last night was over the fact that I need to get back into meal planning. We’ve had too many fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants dinners around here lately.
