When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
“Woman, why do you involve me?”
Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

John 2:3-5 (NIV)

I admit, Lord, that the Wedding at Cana is one of my favorite Bible stories. Not just because You made water into wine as Your first miracle, but because when your mother gave You her urgent appeal there was such a surprise ending! You said no, but then after Mary’s earnest and endearing insistence, You said yes.

This story reveals how much You listen to my prayers, and how that the communion between us represents a true and enduring friendship.
