This past Sunday was
rainy and cool, but it was one of the better Lord's Days' I've enjoyed
in the time since we've moved. We had been searching for a congregation to be a part of. We
visited one that was only 15 minutes away a few times, and found the
people were friendly and truth was taught there. But it just didn't feel
like home. I talked with a dear friend of mine and was reminded that
she and her family worship about twenty minutes away from us. We walked
into the building and it was like old home week! Familiar faces, pure
acceptance. The congregation is small. As in less than twenty people so
far. The hubs will most likely get a chance to lead singing there,
something he hasn't had a chance to do often in years. Perhaps he will
take a turn or two at teaching as well. J is happily accepted here. The
youngest child at the worship service, a seven year old, made friends
with him. That makes this mama very happy. And me? I'm not sure what my
role will be in this new congregation. Perhaps I will get a chance to
teach the children's class. Whatever I get to do, I will do to God's
glory.
What about you? What are you grateful for today? I'd love to hear from you. This post is shared withHeavenly Homemakers' Gratituesday
Isn't that a great feeling? That's how we felt when we first arrived at our church almost two years ago -- right at home. :-) May the Lord bless you (and use you to bless others) at your new "home"!
