—Luke 22:7-13

Preparation! We are always preparing for something. We prepare for vacations. We make travel plans, save money, pack, and plan activities. We prepare for guests by making menus, shopping, cleaning and cooking. Jesus asked the disciples to prepare for the Passover supper. They needed to take care of the details before they could share the meal. Likewise, we should prepare for communion. If we can spend as much time preparing for "worldly events" as we do, we should be willing to prepare for communion. Prepare your heart to be open to God's leading. Spend time in thought and prayer about things that may be hindering your relationship with God or other Christians. Seek forgiveness and a mending of those relationships. Then come to the table with a joyful, thankful heart!
