“The real test of your Christianity is not how pious you look at the Lord's table on Sunday, but how you act at the breakfast table at home.

“I often saw weary little women coming to the table after most exhausting labors, and large, bumptious husbands spreading out their hands and thanking the Lord for the meals that the dear women had prepared, as if the whole came down like manna from heaven. So I preached a sermon in the blessing I gave.

For humanity's sake, Amen.” IfsLittlesWholeHandsMotherHumanityThreeFatherHeavenLordSawsAtheismBlessingHusbandLaborTablesPreparedPatientSakeDearSpreadPositive AtheismThis LifeMealsHeavenlyWearySermonsHeresyHeavenly FatherExhaustingAmenWearinessLittle Women Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton

“Then the Lord said, "This is the year of crazy, substantial hope." Then I saw many sitting around the Table of the Lord whom He was about to address. There was such communion, love, and honor. Then the Lord took His place at the Table. I was overwhelmed with the presence of the Lord. He was so alive. He was so much fun. But He made it very clear that this year the Body of Christ was being evaluated in their hope.” YearsMadeSaidBodyFunChristLordClearSawsAliveCrazyHonorSittingTablesMade ItAddressesCommunionOverwhelmedSitting AroundBody Of ChristLove And Honor Author:Bob Hartley
