As part of the weekly church services in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we take what's called the sacrament (others might call it holy communion). Young men with priesthood authority pray over the bread and water that is then passed to the congregation. The bread and water are meant to symbolize the Last Supper the Savior had with His twelve disciples. While the bread and water is distributed to the people in the church meeting, everyone is quiet. This is a time to reflect and ponder the life and teachings of the Savior, Jesus Christ, as well as one's personal commitment to the Lord. I really appreciate this special time set aside each week. When I am focused on the purpose of the sacrament, I feel spiritually refreshed and renewed. It is truly a great blessing to me.
So, what am I grateful for today? The most important part of my church meetings: It is known as the sacrament.
