church

So today is Sunday. For almost three months now, Adam and I have not gone to a traditional church service. It has been an odd transition for us. Especially after spending the last eight years thinking we were sinning by not going on a Sunday morning to service. Today we met Neal and Haylee and Maddy at the coffee shop at nine fifteen ish. We drank coffee and ate donuts, sang, Adam shared what the Lord had shown him yesterday about growing up in the Lord instead of always drinking milk, you know, eating actual food instead of the same old stuff day after day after day. Hebrews chapter five if you are interested in following up with this. We shared talked, and then we prayed. Have you ever listened to a child pray? It is priceless. Maddy prayed that God would touch the kids in the trailer court where they live and help them to know that they shouldn't swear, even when they get mad, she said it was not the right decision to swear:) Haylee prayed that God would keep helping her with her attitudes which she thinks are getting better! I want to keep learning from them. At one point, Haylee looked at me and whispered, "this is fun". I think it is because they actually felt like they were contributing to the time we shared in fellowship. Thank you God for Sundays! May there be many more lessons to come.
