Seated at the Table

My oldest daughter, Hannah Grace, became a communing member on September 1st and then participated in her first Lord's Supper. As I reflected on her admission, I thought to myself that she has been seated at a eternal table. A table hosted by Christ himself. Just as physical food has nourished her body, my prayer is, this spiritual food help her to mature and draw her closer to Christ.

Called to Communion

Our oldest daughter, Hannah Grace, who is six (6), has been asking a lot of questions about Communion the past few months. When I asked her why she wanted to take Communion she said she wanted to think about it. A little later, she came back to me and announced that she felt she was being "called to take Communion." At first, I thought she had just picked-up on some Christian cliché. However, the more I thought about it, the more I thought that was actually a great answer! Just as I sometimes call my children to the dinner table, does not our Heavenly Father call His children to His table? Is it not a great blessing to be invited to this heavenly feast we call Communion? Yes, Hannah Grace, we are called to the table.
