Day 29

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

Luke 22:19-20

I went to both services with Wes yesterday because we sang and because we wanted everyone to get a chance to see Katherine again. Usually, I either sleep late and go to the second service or go to the first service and then hang out at the house waiting for Wes to come home.

We've started doing Communion every week, which is very exciting for me as a Lutheran. We Lutherans always do Communion every week, so going to the Methodist church and only getting Communion once a month has been getting on my nerves. So I took Communion twice yesterday, and I really started thinking about whether I honor the Sacrament like I should.

Do I just go and take the bread and juice, the go back to my seat? Somedays, I definitely do. I try to remember to say a prayer of thanks to Jesus for his great sacrifice when I go, but sometimes I forget to do even that. Jesus died for my sins, and I can't even treat Communion with the respect it deserves.

During church yesterday, I really paid attention to the words of the service, and I said a couple of prayers. I'm making a commitment to really honoring Communion the way it should be honored.
