mary and martha
the most amazing thing about this weekend was the way that everyone came together and just did everything. there was no bickering or fighting or hurt feelings or "marthas" upset they were stuck in the kitchen doing all the work. everyone (as far as i could tell) was just sitting at the feet of Jesus. yes we did cook and serve each other but it was out of love and not "have to". i was one of the kitchen helpers and it was amazing how unstressed it was. at one point i started smelling wonderful brisket wafting up the staircase and i looked at the clock and realized it was 5 minutes until dinner. teresa and i looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders and said well we better check the food. no stress, no pressure we just laid out the food and everyone ate. it was beautiful. i have never experienced anything like it. i would even go so far as to say we had a little glimpse of heaven. everyone serving and worshipping and loving one another. it was wonderful.

i spoke to marme about that very thing. it was as wonderful watching and being served and it seems to have been from your side. thank you so much for the cooking, the setting up, the serving and the cleaning. you ladies were all amazing and i know the show couldn't have gone on without you.
ReplyDeleteJust like Heaven will be and like the body of Christ should be. Don't ya think?
ReplyDeleteJust complete unity and harmony.
Loved it.
Love it!
Sounds awesome! Normally an anti-meal preparer myself, I love it when I cook for people and serve them with a willing heart. (This rarely happens). It just feels...right.
ReplyDeletei agree. everyone was so helpful and it seemed like everyone took turns helping out. no fusses, musses, or discusses. what harmony we had and felt this weekend.
