The Invitation
It was a stranger’s call!
“Come and dine with me.”The invitation announced, “It’s free.”
“I’ll pay,” it said.
“What’s the catch?” I thought as I reread.
Bring me your cares- it’s never too late.
Come and dine with me,”
Was its drawing plea.
No longer a stranger’s call
accepted throughout the years.It pulls with urgent joy through my tears-
No need to cover my faults or hide;
He sets them all aside.
To take your burdens upon my plate.”
This invitation-it holds a promise within-
A glow that transcends.
The call rings forth,
“My friend and loved One,
Come and be my Son.
Enter my house and dine with me;
Fellowship is the simple key.
I’ll pay,” it said-
The invitation that I read.
Mary Crisp Jameson
Jesus saith unto them,
Come and dine. And none of the
disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. John 21:12
