We had a Sunday School Fellowship at our home this weekend. It was a lot of fun to have everyone over and spend time laughing and talking and laughing some more. There were games of dominos, lots of girl talk, encouragment, and some great food!
When the party was in full swing and folks were all engrossed in their own conversations...I couldn't help thinking that this was all possible because of Jesus.
More than 2,000 years ago a little guy was born in a barn to two young people. Probably two scared young people. That little person was the very Son of God. And ultimately His sacrifice for us would mean that centuries later my house would be filled with people.
There was laughing and eating and encouraging and hugging. There was good conversation and fun words. Plans for girls nights out and talks of hunts that would happen this fall.
I had a great time Sunday night. I loved being in that place. I loved hearing people having a good time.
But...without Jesus...well, nothing would have happened. Without Jesus there would have been no party.
I think there is probably some pretty powerful truth in that last statement.
But, for now, I'm just grateful for community. I'm grateful for the Body of Christ and the part that I get to experience.
Because sometimes it's fun...sometimes it is a lot of fun!

Sounds like your party turned out great! So glad you are a part of a great group like this. It was fun to look at the picture, I recognized a few people we use to know from church.
