The Last Supper - Pretend Style

I wanted my class to get a picture of the Passover meal...and the Lord's Supper...on a much smaller scale, omitting the eating of the sacrificed lamb. (Didn't have time to find one that morning.) Though Tommy said we could use the wafers from Communion, I thought it might not be proper with this bunch and it may even encourage them to grab from the plate as it is passed in church.  I asked them who could partake of the Lord's Supper and they answered, "Christians!"  Okay.  Great. Now that that is settled.
For the sake of clarity, I reminded them again that we were only pretending to partake of the elements. They all nodded in agreement.
I placed Ritz crackers in bowls in the center of the table and then Hannah and I gave them spices from my pantry, representing the bitter herbs.  They balked and asked if they had to eat them, to which I replied, "yes, you need to try them."
Then we poured Welch's sparkling grape juice into small paper cups and we were ready.  I do not remember reading how much was eaten - (except that the whole lamb was consumed) - regarding the bread and herbs.  But these munchkins loved it.  "More herbs, please!" they would cry out as if Hannah and I were the wait staff.  Who knew?  Refills on juice and crackers were also requested.
One boy insisted that I place the crackers in the bowl to be passed around his table, instead of handing them directly to him.
They seemed to enjoy the rosemary most, with thyme coming in second.
My energy and patience are often tested with this bunch.  We have nineteen when all are there. Most of them are homeschooled and this is the only class time they have.  I am younger when I am with them and I am reminded of how quickly time passes.  Lord, thank You for this opportunity to see them learn...and for allowing me to be a part.  Pressing on...slowly, but surely.
