Communion

It has been a really tough couple of weeks. We have been mad crazy trying to raise money to keep City Mission Academy open in the fall. There has also been some very difficult personal issues that we as a family have been going through.

This morning Caci, my 10 year old announced that she has prepared communion. She used the bread and juice that someone had given to us for dinner the night before. We as a family had communion together. Caci did the whole things. She had it set up. She put the "blood" in her cup from her birthday...it is a tiki cup from a summer theme birthday party. And then she put the bread safely between two plates. She lead us in prayer and then encouraged each of us to make sure we each had accepted Jesus into our hearts. She said "this is serious, really think about it."

Then she served each of us one by one and then she served herself.

After such a week communion was very welcome and appropriate.

"Let the little children come onto me", Jesus said.

I say indeed.

We can learn so much from children and how they think of God if we would just follow their lead.
