Earlier today, before the snow adventure, we had a wonderful time of fellowship here in our home with the church. The location where we had been meeting became unavailable, so for the past few weeks our church has been meeting in various homes...and I am loving it! One reason is that I appreciate the opportunity to impress upon Josiah (and remind myself!) that we don't go to church--we are the church. When I can use terminology like, "The church is meeting in our home today!" it helps him to understand that church is not something that we attend or do; it's who we are...and that's such an important lesson.
I also enjoy the extra time that we spend together as we eat a meal after our organized time of worship. The conversation, laughter, etc. is priceless! And the food...wow, we have some really good cooks in this group! The chicken salad sandwiches that Meghan brought today were literally the best I have ever tasted.
Other highlights...
~ an "undignified" time of worship, beginning with the song Ha-La-La-La-La-La-Le-Lu-Jah (how many "la's" are there really supposed to be???)
~ excellent message from Joshua 4, a reminder to remember and take to heart the mighty works of God, not just for our sake but our children's and their children's and their children's
~ some new friends who worshipped with us today
