Community

This forty days of community is supposed to be about reaching outside our church and inside also. This week has been a perfect example. Our group met Monday night and Tuesday fixed supper for our volunteer fire department weekly meeting. Thursday, several visited on their own and this morning we met to shampoo Sharon's Mom's carpets. Doing things together makes anything so much more enjoyable. We had three shampooers going and it did not take long to get it done. Then we got to eat together and share. Today is Rose's birthday and she had been sick all week and even missed Monday's group. Well after finishing shampooing we all went by Rose's and sang Happy Birthday to her and we also took her a bouquet of flowers (She didn't even complain that they were from her yard!) Rose showed us pictures that she has painted and she showed us probably 70-80- canvases that she has painted. They are all truly beautiful. I had no idea anyone I knew has that much talent. She had us all pick out one to take home. So this life group has helped us get to know each other. Rose is very talented and Becky is so wise and is a take charge lady. We appointed her CEO of BJ's Buddies today. We are forming relationships and having fun and most of all showing Christ's love to our community. Once again I can't wait for tomorrow's sermon and video to be inspired for the week. Brian will be done with college for the summer soon. I will be praying lots for him this week and his finals. He is still trying to figure out what he is going to do this summer.
Remember to love with Christ's love to ALL
