Acts 2:46

Acts 2:46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart.

The first Christians weren’t arguing immediately about doctrine, they were meeting every day at the temple because they were so excited to learn and get together in this newfound faith of theirs. They were unified, they ate together with gladness and simplicity of heart, and they didn’t seem to be worried about much at this point. Nowadays we eat while were rushed or angry or stressed or whatever other negative emotion you can think of, rather we should look at food more like these early Christians, as a way to fellowship and glorify God. I like that they were eating together and breaking bread from house to house as an act of joy not of ritual, and that they ate with gladness and simplicity. 

Application-I will work on eating with gladness and simplicity of heart.
