What a great weekend, it was cloudy and rainy and perfect baking weather. We had glorious worship services, both at church and here last night with our Bible Study group. We are studying the book of Hebrews with some precious friends who have come to mean so much to our lives. We have dinner some of the nights together and then sometimes, like last night, we had dessert, yummy apple and cherry cobbler with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream.
Sunday nights are just made to have friends and family over. Because of the times, laughter and going through some illnesses, prodigal children, tough times due to unemployment, etc…..these friends have become like family to us. It is such a blessing to open up our home to people who love the Lord and come together to pray, to study God’s truth, to cry, to laugh, to share “glory stories” and simply just to enjoy being together. We are truly blessed beyond anything we thought possible. I think of the times when shopping in a mall, purchasing something we have “thought” we wanted, or traveling to far away places. Yes, those things seem nice at the time, but the newness wears off. Nights like last night never “wear off”. They bless our hearts and are reminders of God’s goodness to us and how His plan of “meeting together in His Name” will never grow old. It just continues to grow us not only spiritually, but in our genuineness and in our “likeness of Jesus Christ”. Go out today and bless someone with a smile, a hug or tell some one that Jesus really does love them and share what God has done in your life. You will come away so blessed, you will be looking for the next opportunity to share His goodness!
