If only the words would come that so adequately can describe the feelings of my heart at this moment.That is what my church does for me.Our little church has been faithful to the Lord for so very long and now we are seeing fruit in many ways.The Holy Spirit is upon us mightily.The human condition was evident all around today.There were those in the midst of grieving for they had lost loved ones.How they longed to be in the arms of their church family to bear that burden.And how we swept them up in our arms to do just that.Some returned after being away for awhile to be greeted with an abundance of hugs.I witnessed a child wrap his 5 year old arms around a mans legs in a greeting that said more than any adult could have.The man's face melted into a sea of emotion as he said"It's good to be missed".A new family coming to our church for 6 weeks now I finally met.Foster family with 5 children and they have been so faithful to come.The whole rainbow of human experience was present today. Yet whether it was good or difficult, joy or tears, the need to be with our brothers and sisters in Christ and worship the King was greater than any other need.That is what my church has shown to me about the love of Christ.
