The Feast

You and I both know it had been more than two months since we attended a Baha'i function. So when i had the opportunity to attend the feast, i had to go. As we arrived at the hall i felt very excited to see my friends. I jumped out of the in anticipation and walked in eager to see them. We were right on time and found our seats to the back of the hall. Just as i was about to take a seat i was called by one of our friends to help her bring in some food she had prepared at home. She opened the boot of her car and out came the delicious smell of her chicken curry, I took the steaming pot inside it gave me a good reminder of all the food that eat at the feast.
