(Wedding at Cana)
“Here's to alcohol: the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.”
Homer Simpson
I wonder
if Mary had to
drag Jesus
to this affair.
And to make
it more
tolerable
for Him
add the disciples
to the guest list.
As the wedding
went on,
He watched
from His table,
the honored couple,
the happy families,
His date
dancing with
Peter and Andrew,
He hears
Mary come up
behind Him
and whisper,
“They have no wine.”
And in His
selfishness
He tells her
“That‘s not my problem.”
But His divinity
sees the bigger
picture.
So the first
miracle is recorded.
No shame
to the wedding
couple.
No blame
assigned
to the
uninvited
disciples.
