Yesterday our church cried together as we said good bye to a young man who passed away. And yesterday our church family laughed together as we said hello to new friends. Two extremes in one day, but a reminder of how blessed we are to be a part of a church family.
But today, we can say, the Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy!
Lord, our mouths were filled with laughter! Thank you for the joy that marks our lives because we live in communion of you, and in community with other believers. You've designed and created us to worship you and to long for being in connection with others. I pray that as adults Alyssa and Kyle find a church that leads them into deeper relationship with you, and provides people to encourage them, stretch them, and cheer them on through life's successes and trials. I pray that they find a sense of community that matches that of being a part of a family. Being a part of a community of believers will be a vital part of their walk with you! Thank you, dear Jesus, for our church family and the joy they bring to our lives! You shine in them and through them in so many ways. Truly we are blessed!
