Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for my church family. When I say church family, I don't necessarily just mean those who attend East Memorial; I mean all the believers who are in my life. As believers we are all one in Christ, and while I am thankful for the sweet people of EMBC, I am equally thankful for all the people who love Jesus in my life, no matter where they choose to worship. An awesome thing took place today, and although I was already aware that I am a part of a great body of believers, I was reminded today by what took place at the Prattville Chick-fil-a. Today was the spririt day for Mrs. Beverly Easley, I think it is safe to say that Daniel Grier and his team there experienced an overwhelming response. It is amazing what a group of believers can do when they bond together and show the love of God to a family who needs loving on.
I was also reminded of how much I love these people of God, by the sweet group of ladies I played Bunco with tonight. We are all so different, some of us have children, some of us are married and some are not. It actually was a rather diverse group, but it was so much fun. I can honestly say that some of the greatest fun I experience takes place when I have out with precious women who love Jesus. I think that God takes pleasure in the laughter of His children...if this is true God was quite humored tonight, as was I.
God has blessed me with some incredible people to hang out and worship with, I feel so blessed to have these people in my life and to call them my brothers and sisters in Christ.
