Jeremiah's Menu: a reminder to give... with love...

Quote Du Jour

Quote du Jour

Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

a reminder to give... with love...

A comment at the wedding...

I have no recollection of opening gifts...

The reference... Christmas Eve 2011... my siser-in-law hosting... along with my brother/her husband... both hosting... their 4 children... 3 spouses... 7 grandchildren (all 8 years and under)... plus another brother... me... my husband... and 3 children (ages 18-22)... 19 guests in their home... 21 people total... for dinner and gifts...

But... in addition to the crowd... it rained all day... less than two hours before church... the Christmas Eve service... a funeral in the rain... burying her long-time black Lab... who died on the porch that day...

Who would remember?

So today's offering... a memory jar... for my dear sister-in-law... in hopes of sparking the neurons that hold the treasures of Christmas Eve 2011...
