Acts 2

Acts 2: 38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call."

44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

Both of these thrill something inside of me….the assurance of the gift I’ve received and that will be received by many others and …..the idea of breaking bread and eating together. Especially here lately this desire to eat around a table with people and in the act of eating there would be a depth of sharing and celebrating what and where God has brought / is taking us…..I just love that idea. At one time, heck all the time I am wanting to orchestrate just such dinner parties……but I always chicken out because I see it as being too much about me. I just want to talk about God……I just want to hear what He is doing in others……so the idea that someday this will be the norm…….or could be…..WOW.
Oh and I do have this desire to minimize…to sell everything but, will I then use the monies to give to anyone who has need….I pray so…praying to be a person who lives to give…but so far…not so much.
