CHARGE:  Be prepared! Be ready! Only you can insure that you will be 
ready for the bridegroom’s return


RESPONSE REQUIRED:  That I take responsibility for my own preparation, 
for my own readiness for the wedding feast.

					
CREATIVE CLOSING
Because we each must take responsibility for ourselves, I suggest that we use 
our time of silence to make our own individual and personal commitment to 
being ready and prepared to meet the Lord.  Decide what must do to be prepared.
Ask the Lord what you must do to be prepared.  Write out your commitment.  
Write your own prayer asking the Lord to prepare you.  Do this now as we take 
a few minutes of quiet to reflect on preparing ourselves for the wedding feast.
