Remembrance.
Yesterday I posted something about me not being into Christmas much on the basis the bible doesn't actually instruct us to celebrate Jesus Birth.
The bible does instruct us to remember His Death & Resurrection.
1 Corinthians 11:23+
The Lord Jesus on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "this is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "this cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
So, this instruction took place at the last supper, Jesus final passover before he was nailed to the cross for the sins of the world.
I don't believe you need to be in a church building, or have preaching, or anything super spiritual to take the bread & the wine in remembrance of Him. In secret, in your own home, prepared by your own hands is suitable - do it in remembrance of Him.
That is more what I am into.
Today, we received our new kitten. He's 6 weeks old and super cute. We are also kitty-sitting for the day. Which is great given the children all want to hold, pat & squish it.
We've taken 'The Lord's Supper' in remembrance of Him.
We've been playing with 'babies' (dolls).
I've been cleaning, shredding & decluttering. Reading, writing & watching. Feeding, cuddling & growling.
Plans for the rest of the day include: school work, cleaning & going through Isaiah's school work to build his portfolio for the year. More shredding.
I might get a disc burnt of our 2009 photos to print & put into albums.
That's enough for one day I think.
Love & Blessings
Xx
