Words with meaning.

Nothing like a good wedding.  And for sure the infamous wedding at Cana was a good wedding.  It had the potential to turn into a full-on, talked about for years in disparaging tones, disaster, with a capital D. All down to the dreadful miscalculation and thereby subsequent humiliating running out of wine fiasco.  Not for them one drink and then you can buy you're own, so they were in a terrible mess.  But the whole wedding party was transformed, just as the water was transformed into wine.  Save the best till last and a good wedding was had by all. 

I discovered something the other day about this wedding.  It may be something you already knew - but I certainly didn't.  And that was that when Mary, Jesus' mother, told the servants to "do whatever He [Jesus] tells you", it was her last recorded words.  Oh yes, she features in the bible later on in the gospels, indeed she's there at the cross, but nothing else she says is written down.  I love that.  I love that the last thing we know that she says is to "do whatever He tells you".  There could be nothing better for her to say.  What a brilliant final delivery of words.  What an excellent piece of advice.  What else needs to be said.

"Do whatever He tells you".

That's what we need to hear.  We won't go wrong in life if that's what we listen to and if that's what we live by.  I don't know about you but that's my heart.  It's what I want to do.

It also makes me wonder what would you like your last recorded words to be?  Hmmmm.  That's worth thinking about, and you may even want to share with me.  Feel free to let me know.
