A Typical Sunday Afternoon

We are so very blessed by our church family here. Every Sunday since we have begun attending this church in October we have been invited to someone's house for lunch and fellowship. Such visits are really a little bit of heaven on earth. We get the blessing of relaxing together and enjoying the fellowship of other people who love Jesus. Together we share our earthly struggles and heavenly hope. Now that the weather is turning warmer, we've been eating out in people's gardens. Here are a few photos from a few Sundays ago.

These particular pictures are from Katy and Chris's house. Here is dear Katy, one of the kindest people I have ever met. She truly has a servant's heart.



Here is Iain with our friend Christina. He loves all the extra attention he gets when we go out.

Here is Mark, who is our church worker. Mark does a mean Elvis impersonation and is letting Iain try out his Elvis glasses. Viva Las Vegas!

I absolutely adore this little suit. Mom brought it over for Easter and it fits him just right. What a constant reminder of God's graciousness this little boy is! We're so overjoyed and thankful to be his parents.



Sundays are such a refreshment for me in so many ways. I feel so blessed to be part of the body of Christ.

"How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!

It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron's beard,
down upon the collar of his robes.

It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore."

Psalm 133:1-3

How I look forward to that "life forevermore" upon Mount Zion! How much sweeter will those days be? It is hard to imagine.

Lunch tomorrow? You'll feel greatly blessed to walk up The Hill in crutches...
