Peopled

 Last night our house was decorated with PEOPLE!
 "Peopled", I call it.
After snacks and cake,
we played games...
Sevens,
Canadian Salad,
Uno and 
Left, Right, Center
were the games of choice.
 We laugh a lot,
listen to each other
and pray together.
At our church, we call our small groups "Home Connections".  
We try to get together every other week, but were slow to start up again after the holidays. 
Better late than never! 
I personally am very thankful for the relationships I enjoy with these wonderful people.
Does anyone remember Bill and Gloria Gaither's song, "Getting Used to the Family of God"?
It's what's going through my head this "morning after"...
Going together, enjoying the trip, 
Getting used to the fam’ly I’ll spend eternity with.
Learning to love you, how easy it is, 
Getting used to the fam’ly of God.

  4. Wonderful! As a matter of fact, our Home Group of 15 gathered at our house for Sunday dinner (we do that the first Sunday of every month) yesterday. It's always a time of high-spirited fellowship; and serves to fortify the bonds we've made on study nights & other gatherings.

    I'd fit right in at your house; and you in mine!

    Blessings,
    Kathleen
