One Meal – Blog Action Day – v7

The Book of Acts, the Acts of the Apostles
share valuable lessons for this age,
these uncertain, troubled times in our lives;
Maybe community can rise again
out of the ashes of our
disjointed, unconnected lives

They were all together
at one table, sharing one meal
they lived, they worshipped, they ate together;
A single life in the lives of the apostles
out of their wealth they gave,
out of their need they were given,
the early believers on the way

Sharing all, around one table,
to spread His message
to bring God’s love
out into the world
bringing their lives together

One community, one meal
In meals shared in community
seeing Christ in our neighbors;
We share in their legacy
sharing our table with them,
all of them, no charge.

changing the spelling from “worshipped” to “worshiped”,
because Blogger and Twitter said “worshipped” is a misspelling.
