A Red Letter Day

NOTE: This actually happened yesterday but for some reason the post wouldn't publish so here it is a day late. :)

Someone once told me about Red Letter Days.  After learning more, I knew it was something I'd like to do in my family.  Here is the idea behind 'Red Letter Days'.

There is one setting of red dishes which is intended for “Red Letter Days.”
Surprise one another by setting it for your new spouse when you prepare a special dinner for him or her.  Let the birthday person use the red dishes to mark another year of good health and happiness.  Set the red dishes for a guest of honor who comes to visit your home.  Celebrate the completion of a big project or a promotion for your loved one.  One day you may set these dishes for a child who brings home a great report card.  However and whenever you choose to use these red dishes, I pray God’s blessing on you, your marriage and your family.


Caleb had his first Red Letter Day today.  What was the occasion?  His first taste of solid food - rice cereal.  For the past couple weeks, he has been watching anyone eating or drinking with great intent and wonder.  I finally decided that today would be the day that Caleb would start solid foods.   Overall it went very well and he seemed to enjoy the opportunity to eat with us at the dinner table.
