THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME

THIS DO IN REMEMBERANCE OF ME

the words stared at me this afternoon as i sat, searching for quiet, searching for peace, searching for Jesus.

THIS DO IN REMEMBERANCE OF ME.

i have been so busy, continuously running, feeling exhausted, letting others down, letting myself down, letting my Jesus down.

THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.

what do people do in remembrance of their loved ones? they put flowers on their grave? more oft than not, though, they may not remember, but rather seek to forget in effort to push the hurt away. that's not why we ever take communion in the church... we do it so that we can forget you? absolutley not!!!

For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. -1 Corinthians 11:26

what would i do to remember someone? ooh-like a husband/daddy on work buisness traveling far away. a boyfriend or girlfriend out of town. a best friend moved a state away. a sister anna a brother caleb a mom a dad far from where i am now... what do i do to remember them? well, i call them. i think about them all the time. i plaster their pictures everywhere that i might not forget their face. i write them love notes. i plan special surprises when i just show up and shower them with my love.

it's like that with Jesus, isn't it? he's not dead-he's alive! it's like he just can't be in physical form with me right now-but he's still there. he still can talk to me and listen to me and love me. so how do i live my life in remembrance of him? how do i get excited and anticipate his return? what are the ways that i "plaster his picture everywhere" or "write him love notes" or "just show up as a surprise to shower him with my love"? what can i do to live in remembrance of him?
