Gifts and Grace


The gathering of friends and disciples on this quiet Thursday evening.
Its about being a servant.

Washing feet
Serving others
and loving

Then to top it off the gift of self is given
In the body and blood of Christ

The gift is given
Simple common elements

Bread ... manna ... 
In the wilderness
Stories of the old testament

Brought to the new testament
In the body of Christ.

Water into wine
Saving the best for last
The wedding guests

Brought to life in the new testament
In the blood of Christ.

Common elements
Body and blood
Gifts 
Grace
Forgiveness
Redemption

The journey continues. 

Go out ... do likewise
Love one another
Serve one another
Step out of the comfort zone
Walk the streets and serve

I just came back from our Maundy Thursday service and saw this entry. How cool is that? Thanks, Debbie.
