Vessel of the Lord

Hello My Brother,

As I partook of the sacrament today, it dawned on me. The ordinance, unique among its cohorts, physically makes of our bodies vessels of the Lord. I use the word "vessel" here in the sense you helped me understand: "vessel" as a conduit in contrast to "vessel" as a container.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we met together as a ward each week (or month or year - maybe Easter time) for a full "last supper" experience. I wonder if there were "non-members" with the Savior during the Last Supper itself.

Anyway, maybe I'll ask our bishop for permission to celebrate such a sacrament with my family.

From my heart to yours in the love of God who loved us first....and in a yearning to be closer to you.
