breaking bread
Most of us know that during the Eucharist, Jesus makes himself known to us in the breaking of bread . But through the sharing of a meal? Absolutely!
This afternoon I spent time with some members of our church family. On the last Sunday of the month we shoot trap (basically breaking dishes in the air with shotguns) at a local gun club. After we finished shooting I asked everyone over to my house for a libation (beer or soda). But I have too much Mexican blood flowing though my veins so I to stop and get food for everyone to eat. Mexicans don't invite people over if they're not willing to feed them. It surprised them to find out that there was going to be a meal.
It was a wonderful time. And Jesus did indeed make himself known to us . Was it the Eucharist, No! Was Jesus present, Yes! Even in our frivolous banter . Well , except maybe Scott (jk).
Jesus really does make himself known to us in the breaking of bread. Thank you LORD!
Going Big! But slowly cuz I'm full.
