HAPPY 1st SUNDAY!!! BREAK BREAD

In My Family, for Years Our Tradition was to Attend Church on Sunday and after Service come home, finish preparing the Dinner you Started last night and as other Family members and/or close Friends arrive (with or without a dish)... Everybody had a Job in the Preparation & Presentation of Creating this Great Feast... from peeling potatoes to shredding cheese to squeezing lemons to setting the table or even just keeping the Cooks motivated by telling the latest jokes and/or gossip!... By the time we all held hands and the Prayer was spoken, then we'd "Break Bread" and OMG, Everything was Good!
Nowadays, with everyone getting older and some have moved away and many are busy with their own immediate families... We only enjoy this Family Tradition on First Sundays & Holidays!... With that said, this is the First Sunday and I do Have a Job to Do... "Aint' Nobody Got Time... to Play with Y'all!" ;-)
"Breaking Bread"
 The expression "break bread" does not have much meaning and application to the average American. In fact, "breaking bread" would be viewed as idiomatic and awkward by most today. However, in Bible days and lands, the expression was very relevant and meaningful. "Break bread" is also seen in connection with many Bible verses and teaching. First, we need to appreciate the importance of bread in Bible days. "Bread the principal food. In the Orient it has been estimated that three-fourths of the people live entirely upon either bread or upon that which is made from wheat or barley flour. It is unquestionably the principal food of the East" (James Freeman, Handbook of Bible Manners and Customs, p. 50).
"Since there is this attitude of sacredness in relation to 'staff of life,' there grows out of it the universal Eastern custom of 'breaking' bread and not cutting it.. To cut bread would be thought of as cutting life itself. This custom of breaking bread rather than cutting it, is found throughout the scriptures. In Lamentations 4: 4 we read: 'The young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.' Thus the expression 'breaking of bread' came to mean the taking of a meal whatever was included in the meal. Because Christ broke bread when he instituted the ordinance of the Lord's Supper, the expression came to refer to that ordinance. Matthew 26: 26: 'Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave to his disciples.' Thus we read in Acts 20: 7: 'And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them'" (Manners and Customs of Bible Lands, p. 45, by Fred Wight). "Breaking bread" was something commonly done by the early Christians. Breaking of bread is used in two different milieus and contexts. First, there is the breaking of bread used in connection with the Lord’s Supper, a memorial to remember Jesus’ death and to declare his coming again (Matt. 26: 26-29, I Cor. 11: 23-34). The breaking of bread in the sense of the Lord’s Supper was a regular and constant act of public worship performed on the "first day of the week" in which the early church engaged (Acts 2: 42, see addendum 1). The Christians met on the Lord’s Day "…to break bread" (Acts 20: 7). It is obvious that "break bread" here is not a common meal because this is the express reason for them coming together on the First Day of the week, the day of public worship in the New Testament (cp. I Cor. 16: 1ff., cp. Acts 2: 46). The expression "breaking of bread" is also used to describe what the Christians did "from house to house" (Greek, kar oikon, Acts 2: 46).
