Contemplative Bible Reading

John 2:1-2 (New Living Translation)

1 The next day there was a wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration.

One week ago I attended a wedding. One of my nieces married. It was fun. There was much happiness and celebration. It was like Jesus and his disciples. They were invited to the celebration. They attended. They didn’t beg off to watch a college football game (who schedules a wedding on a Saturday during the college football season?). They celebrated.

If Jesus and his disciples had the time to celebrate with others, so do I. Please, take the opportunity to celebrate. Jesus did.
