Advent Reflections from Isaiah 25 and Matthew 15


A lavish feast
or simple bread and fish
both are offered at His table
and offered to all

Thank you for the rich meat and wine
which is mine from time to time
and more often the fish and bread
that daily grace my table

I long for the banquet yet to come
spread for all tribes and nations;
I even enjoy it on occasions now
when my eyes are opened to see.

And the simple table
spread from day-to-day
is the communion of love
shared with friend and family.

-Nancy Perkins, 11/30/11
