Feed my Lambs

Last month a group of friends and I visited a trailer park and hosted a Halloween party. We returned yesterday to share a Thanksgiving meal with these special friends. 

The banquet table was set with turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, green bean casserole, Sweet potato casserole and pies, pies, pies! We had enough food to feed hundreds.

This affair was spurred on by Jesus’s words to Peter.

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." John 21:15

 His words reminded us of our mission. “Feed my lambs.”

Feed them by sharing;

 a Meal

in Conversations

 in Laughter

 in reading the Bible

in Prayer

 in Thankfulness

Our longing was to remind our new friends that Jesus has requested that they come to His banquet table. Song of Solomon 2:4

Today as you sit to eat with friends and family remember that you too have been called to His table. His desire is that you would experience feasting with the King, delighting in His presence and being filled with His Spirit.

Father, thank you for inviting us into your banquet. We are honored to be seated at your table.  Remind us to Feed your Lambs. Thank you for calling us into your flock. May the seeds of love that were planted last night take root and grow.
