Sweet Fellowship with the Saints

This was a wonderful day with our church family. We had visitors with us at church. A family of ten children and their mother. After a great sermon in the Gospel of John chapter 8 on the "Truth shall set you free", we all gathered for a potluck picnic at one of the church member's home.

It was just a sweet time of fellowship, food and fun. Our kids had a blast playing with this family. Our church is so small that our kids are the only ones there most the year and then half the year another family joins us and they have two girls. So this was a special treat for Nathaniel to have boys close to his age to play with. Sarah enjoyed talking to their Sarah and playing ball with the others too.

I so enjoyed visiting with Susan, their mother. They lost their dad and her husband to cancer in February. It was encouraging to see how God is sustaining them and comforting them along the way. They are a wonderful family. The peace of God is evident in their loss. It is a miracle of God's grace in their lives.
