Did you know that feeding each other is so important in our faith that it is a sacrament?!? Our religion, the United Church of Christ says this about this sacrament that we call Communion: “Sacraments are ritual actions in worship which, according to Scripture, were instituted by Jesus. In the sacraments of baptism and communion we ask the Holy Spirit to use water, bread, and wine to make visible the grace, forgiveness, and presence of God. . .”
What if every time we ate, we took a moment to give thanks? What if every time we ate, we took time to forgive? What if every time we ate, we took time to see God in our meal and in each other? Maybe when we take Communion every month at church, this can be our reminder to give thanks, be forgiving, and seeking God in everything all the time? I wonder if this would help us to be the most loving as we could be.
Daily Prayers
In the morning when we wake up: May today bring joy in new ways. Amen.
At mealtimes: Dear God, thank you for health. Thank you for the earth. Thank you for the hands and hearts that made this food. May the earth and your people be healthy. Amen.
Bedtime: Dear God, thank you for resting from the top of my head down to my toes. Your love will be with me even in my sleep. Amen.
