Bill and I have attended church all our lives. It's something we grew up doing and we've been attending church and serving since we've been married. We've raised our two children in church. We attended as a family. We worshipped as a family. Church has been a very big and important part of our lives.
For this entire year, we have not been able to regularly attend church. We miss it. It's not just the service, because we can get the sermons on the church's web site. Or, we can watch "church tv" (as Jessie calls it). It's the fellowship. I miss the handshakes, the hugs. It's sharing in one another's lives. It's laughing when someone shares a funny happening. It's crying with someone who's had a hard week. It's praying with someone you don't know, asking God to intervene.
Let us hold unswervenly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25.
Please pray for us especially on Sunday's. This is one of the hardest days of the week for us. Especially for Bill, who is not feeling well at all.
