This weekend we had two Communion services in our home. It started by Brian asking if we could have Jesus time on Saturday. I told him, "Sure!" I was assuming we would read the Bible and pray together (which we don't do often enough as a family). When I got upstairs I discovered that Brian and Zach had prepared Communion and a devotional.
First, Brian read out of his Bible (Jeremiah 29:11) and then Zach pretended to read out of his Bible as he recited the story of Jesus' birth, death and resurrection. I was blown away!
Brian and Zach explained what the elements meant. Zachary actually told me that the bread was for Jesus' broken body. And Brian told us that the juice (which was Gatorade lol) was for Jesus' blood which is for forgiveness.
We did this both Saturday and Sunday. I was completely taken by surprise and humbled as God used my kids to lead me this weekend.
Brian's verse, which says, "I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord…" It was clear to me that God has plans for both of these young men!
Thats an awesome story bro! I think we need to do that as a family too. Maybe this weekend. Hope you guys are well.
