Holy Communion

So I just got back from Cindy's ... and our spring break fun for those not engaged in beaches etc.

AsI drove away this song resumed playing. In light of our Wed night lenten series on the Eucharist, aka The Royal Table and the lyrics that sung out from the cd player I realized: we had Communion tonight: Communion of the "Royal" kind.

We gathered at Cindy's in His name; We offered ourselves to each other and hence to God; We created many "tables" to gather around: basket ball hoops; deck chairs; a tv; a scrabble board. In His body and in His blood, we ate, we drank, we were fed, we were strengthened and then we went back out into the world. We are His body. And we are fed in all ways when we gather together whether we eat burgers, hot dogs or cookies. And tonight we recreated what we do every Sunday morning: we gather; we offer; we tell stories; we receive; we give thanks; and we go back out into the world.

We are his body. We are covered (sheltered) by His blood. Tonight we had Communion.

And at least I for one was fed and strengthened: heart, soul, mind and body!

Taste and see that God is good. Psalm 34.

Thanks be to God.
