The Front Door

One thing that stands out in our new home is the front door,

as to the many who enter, even now.

Not only the ones who can just take their bike

or walk to Papa and Mimi's now ...

but the ones who are missing the fellowship of meeting at church. 

For this reason our front door has become a church door.

 

The powder room prepared to be user friendly - for such a time as this.

It truly is a season none of us would have thought could ever become reality. 

But here we are.

I love seeing the joyful smiles of our Care Group joining us every other Sunday.

It's always a reminder of how we are made for community

and encouraged by coming together.

There is joy in the little things and thankfulness in the bigger things ...

such as technology and people who are willing 

to take the time to bring church into our homes.

Songwriters, Christopher Joel Brown, Steven Furtick,

Brandon Lake and Tiffany Hammer

have expressed their sentiments in a beautiful way,

Lord, there's nothing, nothing better than You ...

'Cause the God of the mountain is the God of the valley.
There's not a place your mercy and grace
won't find me again ...

You turn mourning to dancing,

You give beauty for ashes.

Your turn shame into glory.

You're the only one who can.

These are words of a future and a hope,

which we can all use at this time.

So as much as we can, let us meet to encourage one another.

Let us open the door of our heart,

to the only One who is able.

P.S. I'm breaking my guide as to how I write, usually more diary-style or written for someone, rather  than interaction style, but I thought I'd interject here. If you do not have a church home to log into, here is an invitation https://northview.org/livestream-2/
