Thinking about the Thanksgiving table, and then coming today to the Lord’s Table, reminded me of how much of life is lived around a table and a meal. There are all kinds of traditions and ways from one family to another, one culture to another, but in a birthday, an anniversary, a Thanksgiving, a Christmas, a wedding, and even a funeral, it always involves a table and a meal and the people gathered around it. Our Lord, the great I am, the First and the Last, the One for whom all things were created by and for and through, Jesus; also lives life around a table, with a meal, and those He loves.
