Set a Spell

Come join us here at Amy’s Place, I’m sure we can find room.
Don’t worry that disturbing us will somehow seal your doom.
We always welcome visitors. We’re glad to see you come,
And curiosity compels us to inquire where you’re from.

Some come here seeking wisdom. That makes our doggy laugh!
Companionship, I think you’ll find, is much the better half.
You can find poems everywhere, (at least I think I can,)
But friendliness is lots more fun, and much the better plan.

So pop on in, and share with us, a friendly word or two,
We’ll look around and try to find a cozy spot for you.
And all in all I think you’ll see, we’ll try to get things right.
So come on in and set a spell, you’ll find that we don’t bite.

Oh My...he looks just like my first doggie over 40 years ago. His name was Preston, and he was a beautiful Samoyed!

Falling Leaves
© Meredith

The crunch under my feet,
The colors drifting in the sky,
So many reds, oranges and yellows, they set the trees on fire.
And when the have all fallen one by one,
I Know That Fall Is Over, And Winter Has Come!

Good evening, Jane.

My wireless wasn’t working earlier and I had just about given up on getting a new thread posted. I gave up and left to get Marissa from Youth Group .. Ta Da .. when we got home it was working. I still don’t know what the problem was. Oh Well ... at least its working now. ;-)

So glad your wireless is now up and running. How’s Marissa’s schedule, so far? Is she settling in to things?

She is keeping me on the go. They are having another Freshman Parent Night tomorrow. I feel like I’m back in High School. There is a school dance Friday; she is all excited about that. Hope it starts early and is over early. These late nights get to me.

The Power Of Ritual

Oct 1, 2014

Read: 1 Corinthians 11:23-34

Do this in remembrance of Me. —1 Corinthians 11:24
Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 11-13; Ephesians 4

When I was growing up, one of the rules in our house was that we weren’t allowed to go to bed angry (Eph. 4:26). All our fights and disagreements had to be resolved. The companion to that rule was this bedtime ritual: Mom and Dad would say to my brother and me, “Good night. I love you.” And we would respond, “Good night. I love you too.”

The value of this family ritual has recently been impressed on me. As my mother lay in a hospice bed dying of lung cancer, she became less and less responsive. But each night when I left her bedside I would say, “I love you, Mom.” And though she could say little else, she would respond, “I love you too.” Growing up I had no idea what a gift this ritual would be to me so many years later.

Time and repetition can rob our rituals of meaning. But some are important reminders of vital spiritual truths. First-century believers misused the practice of the Lord’s Supper, but the apostle Paul didn’t tell them to stop celebrating it. Instead he told them, “As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes” (1 Cor. 11:26).

Rather than give up the ritual, perhaps we need to restore the meaning.

Lord, when we observe the Lord’s Supper, help
us avoid the trap of letting our observance
grow routine. May we always be moved with
gratitude for the wonderful gift of ritual.
Any ritual can lose meaning, but that does not make the ritual meaningless.

Insight

On the evening Jesus celebrated His last Passover with His disciples, He also established His own memorial supper. The unleavened Passover bread symbolized the exodus from Egypt, and the cup echoed the Old Testament promise, “I will redeem you.”
