(((((Goodnight, and God Bless)))))
Its not about the table, whether its square or round. Its not about the chairsplastic or wooden. Its not about the food, although it helps if it has been cooked with love. A good meal is enjoyed when we turn off the TV and our cell phones and concentrate on those were with.
I love gathering around the table, enjoying a good chat with friends and family and talking about a multitude of topics. However, instant technology has made it difficult. Sometimes we are more concerned about what otherssometimes miles awayhave to say than what the person just across the table is saying.
We have been invited to another meal at the table when we come together in one place to celebrate the Lords Supper. Its not about the church, if its big or small. Its not about the type of bread. Its about turning off our thoughts from our worries and concerns and focusing on Jesus.
When was the last time we enjoyed being at the Lords Table? Do we enjoy His presence, or are we more concerned with whats going on somewhere else? This is important, for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lords death till He comes (1 Cor. 11:26).

: The Lords Suppercommunionis a time to remember the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Paul writes to the Corinthian believers to remind them not to partake of this supper in an unworthy manner (v. 27). The ESV Study Bible explains: When the Corinthians observe the Lords Supper they are not rightly representing the sacrificial death of Christ (vv. 24,26) and the true character of the Lord. . . . The few who are wealthy in Corinth (1:26) have no regard for those who are hungry or who have nothing, while others have too much and some even get drunk. The practical application of Pauls instruction culminates in verse 33: Wait for one another.
