Finding Him at home
November 11th, 2009
From yesterday’s Vespers Office:
…that I may know you as you are revealed in Scripture and in the breaking of bread.
The experience of Communion is usually how I come to know Christ in the “breaking of bread”, but upon further reflection I think that I can come to know Christ at home, as I “break bread” with friends and family. For example, I’ve learned so much about the love of God from hearing my grandfather say grace at Thanksgiving dinner. His careful petition for the Lord’s blessings on his family is moving in it’s simplicity.
What are experiences you have had over a meal that have helped you come to know Christ? What are ways we can create those experiences for those who eat at our table?
Oh Brandy, I LOVE this. I have to think about it, I’ll be back.
Those are good questions. I too will have to think about it more.
