"Awesome" and "Small Group" = The Same Thing.

I just had a quick conversation with Kyle that went exactly like this:
  • Kyle: "We have small group tonight don't we?"
  • Me: "Yes."
  • Kyle: "We are going aren't we?"
  • Me: "Yes."
  • Kyle: "Awesome."
I hope that the though of your small group elicits similar thoughts and emotions, after all God has created us to "live our lives together." That is to live our lives in relationship with other Christ followers. The summer schedule is often murder for church continuity and that includes small groups. So now that summer is over...or almost over...we still have the issue of Labor Day. Let me encourage you to make every effort to make it to your groups next gathering and don't let anything keep you from it. After all not only is there a blessing there for you but you might be bringing someone's blessing along with you, that's just the way it works; you bless those who bless you you. That's why it is both a privilege and a joy to be a part of the body of Christ. Getting to go to small group truly is; in the worlds of my son; "awesome." Because it is there that I can find a group of people who love me and my family AND who are rooting for me as I pursue God.

Blessings,
PB

I totally agree with you! I miss being able to be a part of the small group that you lead due to my work schedule. I always felt loved for who I am and not for what I have or could give. If you're not part of a small group, you certainly should consider joining one. It's the BEST!!
