Our spirits were high when we reported for work on Monday morning. We sat in the refreshment area of the rented building and talked about the wonderful blessings we received over the weekend, and also about mountain of work we faced in disassembling all the props, jungles, signs, chairs, tables, obstacle courses, inflatable jumping castles, drape dividers, giant crayons, and oh so much more.

Brother Joseph joined us and talked with us about how much there was still to do. He then saw that brother who provided the chairs had arrived and was ready to get to work. He got up to meet the brother at the door and while he was leaving, he laughed, “Time to go home!”

As soon as Brother Joseph left our sight, we all hid inside the displays. When he walked back into the building expecting to see his loyal crew ready to start on this momentous task, he saw only an empty building. “VERY FUNNY! VERY FUNNY!” Even with our trickery, however, we were not able to get out of packing up the chairs, tables, and drape dividers.

The crew got right to work. Within an hour, we had all the drape dividers packed up and we had a good start on the chairs and tables. We laughed and had fun as we folded the chairs, until one of the brothers made the following statement: “Just think, the Bride of Christ sat in these chairs.”

Our minds went back to the weekend. Thousands of people traveled from all over the United States and the world to visit with their fellow believers for only a few days. Why does it mean so much to us to gather together with believers of like faith? Brother Branham said,

We can only imagine that great Wedding Supper, when the chairs will be filled with these same believers. Needless to say, our hearts were stirred thinking that the Bride of Christ sat in these very chairs.
