First they have to buy a new one. It was a sunny day but the wind was cold.
Eve and I were on the road again off to the church for U.C.W. Our church is hosting the world day of prayer which the women of the Philippines have written. It is good to get together with other denominations and also to learn about another country. We were planning our part. We have wonderful round table but we will need help to put them out. Some people from the congregation will help. Our group is smaller with only 8 of us together. It is good just to keep in touch.
Chapter 2 of the gospel of John presents Jesus as turning the purification water in to wine. He was asked to do this at a wedding by his mother and he gave in to her request. His mother had faith in him!
The new kingdom will be one where a new humanity is transformed into a celebration of joy. Taste and drink in new life a gift for all. I would think this would be an answer to prayer for the host who would have lost faith when the wine ran out. Maybe he prayed but his mother was the one who had confidence in the transforming power that was in Jesus. Answered prayer touches the heart and opens the door to faith.
This is call the first sign of future miracles.
Jesus brings joy!
The disciples were amazed.

Kim is lucky her Grandpa is such a good "fixer"! So nice to see Grandpa and Granddaughter doing things together.
I used to participate in the World Day of Prayer too, but it has been some years since I have done that. It is nice to hear your church is doing something for it Beth. Goodness knows the world sure needs prayer these days, doesn't it?
Carl's footcare nurse came today and she always has a good visit too. It is nice to see her and hear the news. She is in her early 70's and does an amazing job of visiting homes and looking after people's feet.
It is a bitterly cold day once again and the birds are starting to gather at the feeders ....usually starts an hour before the dark arrives. They need to eat so much to get through the long cold nights.
That is quite the story about the water being changed to wine by Jesus.
Have a nice evening,
Love, Nancy
Busy day with Carol and Haiti coming to visit.
