AARRRGGGHHHHH! OOPS!!!!
Can you fix the date of the Mother’s Day reminder on Post 1? Should be May 11th.
I just washed my fingers and can’t do a thing with them.
Thanks in advance if you can.
Read: 1 Corinthians 11:23-32
At a communion service my wife and I attended, the congregation was invited to come forward to receive the bread and cup from one of the pastors or elders. They told each one personally of Jesus sacrifice for him or her. It was an especially moving experience during what can often become just routine. After we returned to our seats, I watched as others slowly and quietly filed past. It was striking to see how many had tears in their eyes. For me, and for others I talked with later, they were tears of gratitude.
The reason for tears of gratitude is seen in the reason for the communion table itself. Paul, after instructing the church at Corinth about the meaning of the memorial supper, punctuated his comments with these powerful words: For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lords death till He comes (1 Cor. 11:26). With the elements of communion pointing directly to the cross and the sacrifice of Christ on our behalf, that service was about so much more than ritualit was about Christ. His love. His sacrifice. His cross. For us.
How inadequate words are to convey the extraordinary worth of Christ! Sometimes tears of gratitude speak what words cant fully express.
I went grocery shopping Friday and the place was full of old folks doing the same thing. I had to wait in line behind 5 people.
I finally realized the reason. Social Security payments normally are made on the third but since that was on a Saturday, they went out on the second.
