Sunday

My favorite day of the week

Gathered Christians

Worshiping

Praying

Learning

Growing

What a privilege

Growing up in the congregation

 where my husband ministers

 

I have watched

babies become children

children become teenagers

teenagers become adults

New families begin

Children are now parents

Parents become grandparents

Grandparents graduate to great-grandparents

I listen to that curly headed boy I once babysat teach the adults

I'm lead in worship by the adorable toddler who once stuck his tongue out at me during church

I fellowship and serve with the same girls that I giggled away the night hours with as a teen

Now I teach the children of children I babysat and grew up with

I get to love on their babies and tell them how wonderful their parents are

I'm privileged to pray with them as the faith is handed down from one generation to the next

Refreshment

Encouragement

Strength for the week to come

All found while gathered with God's family

Opportunity 

to love people

to serve God 

to worship my Creator

to learn His Word

I often find

a tear or two 

clouding my eyes

as God works 

and moves

on this

my favorite day of the week
