Faith, hope and love are invisible traits.  We cannot see them. We cannot touch them.  We cannot taste them.

Many of the most important values in life are intangible like that. 

We cannot take the size of compassion.

We cannot gauge courage.

We cannot evaluate ecstasy.

We cannot frame friendliness.

We cannot weigh grace.

We cannot take the dimensions of happiness.

We cannot survey honesty.

We cannot quantify innocence.

We cannot figure joy.

We cannot calculate maturity.

We cannot compute passion.

We cannot value serenity.

We cannot assess thankfulness.

We cannot quantify understanding.

We cannot appraise unselfishness

We cannot measure wisdom.

Even God is invisible.  Jesus has long ago left this earth for his reign in heaven.

But Jesus left us something that we can touch, that we can taste.  This cup and this crust are tangible reminders of God's great love, of Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection, of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Touch.  Taste.  Remember.
