Sharing

Last evening we shared a meal with friends! The food was good and the sharing of our lives in conversation was even better. Jesus shared a meal often in scriptures and of course the greatest meal was the Last Supper, which we all can partake of today. I love to cook and then enjoy the results with others. Tonight some family members are coming by for leftovers as I cooked way too much for the dinner party the night before. It really won't matter that the food was cooked the day before, but what matters is that we will be together and sharing what is going on in our lives. I hope you take time to have friends or family come to your home for a meal and enjoy a delightful time together. After Jesus died and rose from the dead he cooked fish over an open fire on the shore for the disciples as they came ashore with their net full of fish. (John 21:9) He not only fed his disciples then, but he still feeds us today. We can read the Bible and be fed and we can receive Him in Holy Communion. We can listen to Him in prayer and be fed with what He speaks to us in the silence of our heart. My book "Living Waters: Writings from the Heart of a Christian" is all about Jesus speaking to my heart and feeding me Living Waters.
