blessing, joy, humbly
coming forward to receive
the gifts from Christ
His sacrifice for us
accepting the bread,
“Christ’s body broken for
you”
expecting the cup,
“the blood of Christ shed
for you”
instead, something
different,
when she offered the cup,
not the gift of Christ’s
sacrifice
her words unfamiliar:
“the blessings of Christ”,
these words she spoke to us
imparting that gift
the wine tasting different
not of sacrifice, a gift
as we received the cup
blessings of our Savior
the blessings of Christ
the gift of His love

“when
you offered the cup. Usually is it
"the blood of Christ shed for you";
but
you focused on the blessings.”
