Run to Jesus

At church today we were plodding up the aisle as usual to  receive our bread and wine during communion.   Adults are served on the floor level.   Children are invited to go a few steps to the communion table to receive their grape juice and bread or a blessing.  Out of the corner of my eye I saw a young girl sprint up to the communion table to receive her grape juice and bread.  She skipped away after receiving the elements.  Soon a young boy also ran up to receive a blessing. While at first glance- it seemed -well- close to not reverent enough- I thought :"Wow they went up there with true joy, anxious to receive what Christ has done for them".    Good lesson for this old grown-up.  We all need to Run to Jesus!
