Snow, snow, go away!

Today we woke up to snow...again. I'm sure that is nothing for those of you back east or in the real mountains, but for us, who sometimes have no snow for a whole year, this is a surprise. Especially two days in a row. Yesterday it was all gone by 10am and we had sun, snow, rain and hail off and on the rest of the day. We saw the remains of at least three accidents. Over all, though, we had a good day. We went to lunch and then a movie with SisterLori and her mister and girls, then wandered the mall a little. We all like to cruise the Christian Bookstore, so we did that, but only made minimal purchases-just enough to have a treasure to bring home, really. Mine is a new tea cup with a sheep sitting at a bistro table, reading. It has a good reminder printed around the rim, "This is the day the Lord has made." It's cute and big enough to hold a real cup of coffee, not like a typical tea cup.

Today is a normal Sunday for us. Didaskalos (husband) teaches Junior High Sunday school and I usually sit in. Then we have a singing, praying, communion, teaching service. I know many churches don't serve communion every week, but ours always has. Our Sunday worship time was originally set up as close to the early church's Lord's day celebration as possible, with breaking of bread/remembrance being in the form of unleavened bread and grape juice. I look forward to this time for many reasons. Different men in our church give a short thought or meditation, and the different styles and perspectives are inspiring. Then it is a quiet time while the men serve all the congregation and there are many weeks that this is the longest quiet prayer time I have. I also like to think of all the churches around the world doing the same thing, not at the exact same time, but with the same thoughts....thankfulness for what Jesus accomplished with His sacrifice.

I am not exclusive. By that I mean I do not believe every Christian has to worship in the same denomination or type of service, but I am so thankful for this place of safety and renewal for my family, and I would want all to have the same wherever that takes them. I have been in a church where there was so much strife and such lack of unity, true worship was exceedingly difficult. That is not what God intends our set aside time to be. It is supposed to be a time of edification and strengthening for living in this dark and fallen world. If you don't have that, I pray you are able to find it. Happy Lord's Day.

checking in on Caras world :)

Funny thing, the church we go to now does communion every Sunday. I'd never been to a place that did, and I'm enjoying it now, though I think it was harder for me initially because I see it as a very sobering thing, and not something to join in with if you're not in the right mind set if you KWIM? anyway, I'm getting used to the idea and enjoying the peacefulness of it. We do ours similar to yours as the men serve it all.

I worshipped in bed yesterday. I went out to tend to the animals and then came back in... and laid down on the bed and didnt wake up until NOON! the hubster let me sleep all morning long while he took care of the children! I felt very blessed!

HUGS!!
