THOUGHTS ON ENJOYING COMMUNION
Today, we kept communion at my church. I enjoyed it. Is that heresy? The robed pastors prayed. Grave elders carried out the holy trays To solemn people all wrapped in solemn looks. Were they feeling guilty? So was I. But the table called to me, “Forgiven, In the blood of Christ!” And I was freed to sing. Were they hungry? So was I — for love and meaning, Peace and hope. The table offered these to me, and so I ate most heartily. I smiled, and could have laughed aloud, (but we are Presbyterians). If this be heresy, then let’s enjoy the feast, And hear the angels singing, “Those sinners made it Home!” Marie Hubbel, Chico, CA, Monday Morning.
