Thankful Challenge #10 - Our family is so blessed to be in fellowship with our church! It is a wonderful place to serve the Lord. The people are gracious, kind, and committed to their faith. When I tell people that I am a pastor's wife I often get a look of sympathy with a comment along the lines of, "You poor woman. I know that is so tough!" I am quick to share with them that serving our church is a joy and an honor because of the people we get to serve and their willingness to let us walk with them through life - the highs and the lows.
When my dad was sick, my church ministered to our family in ways I will never forget. The meals, hugs, prayers, tears, visits, and cards were tremendously meaningful to me and sustained our family in very tangible ways. The significance of belonging to a community of faith became more apparent to me than ever before.
So, on this Sunday in November, I am thankful for my church and for the saints within its walls!
