Today, we opened our third egg. Inside we found a tiny goblet representing the "Passover cup" or the cup from the "Last Supper". Our scripture was
Matthew 26:17-19, 26-28 along with
Exodus 12:23. Growing up I had the privilege of participating in worship in many different denominations. Always one of my favorite times in each service was the time of remembrance and reflection -
The Lord's Supper. (Unless, of course, I happened to be at a Baptist church and then it would be the luck of the draw if I attended at the beginning of the quarter! ... all my Baptist friends will laugh at that!) More than the songs; more than the sermons; more than the special music, stories
and media...this time made me think and ask myself the serious/important questions of life. In the local Protestant church we attend currently, The Lord's Supper is offered weekly. Members take it very seriously. It has been personally growing for me to watch them weep, pray and pass on the elements
or smile, look on them thankfully/lovingly and rejoice.
Our family thought for the day is: Are we drinking from the cup that HE has poured out for us or are we choosing a cheap glass that will never satisfy and quench our hearts' desires? Drinking of His love and goodness today!! AT
