The Family of God

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14 (ESV)

When Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, he concluded his second letter with the prayer that the Christians there would experience all that God had for them, His grace, love and fellowship. This week our Wednesday Bible study group had the chance to share a small taste of that. Barb and I hosted the group for what has become our annual omlet breakfast and Bible study. What a beautiful day it was, as we enjoyed the grace, love and fellowship that God alone gives.

Early in the morning I was able to get the ingridients together in our kitchen as we awaited the arrival of our Bible study group. Then the table was sent in anticipation of the omlets that were to be prepared and consumed. Finally, the meal was served and fellowship enjoyed around the table.

















How exciting it was to finish our brunch and adjourn to the gazebo for our feast on God's Word as we continued our recently begun Bible study on Romans. The sunny morning was perfect as we learned more about the love and grace of God while experiencing the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. I often wonder why God allows me to experience such abundant life in Him.
