becoming<\/em>, and we’re doing it together. I’m thankful for God’s grace because I know I did nothing to deserve it.<\/p>\nYesterday was no exception. The number of people was a little on the lower side due to the first weekend of Fall Break, but it was still really great. Worship was sweet and I felt good about the message. I’m very thankful to God for all of that.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, Karen and the boys and I spent some time at lunch with a great new family in our church. I’m always encouraged to hear what God is doing in other people’s lives and experience the blessing and privilege of having them share honest, heart-level things they are going through. I don’t take that honor for granted.<\/p>\n
Then there is the other part of Sundays that I love: coming home. I get to spend the rest of the day with my family…often doing nothing more than crashing in front of the T.V. for an afternoon (and sometimes evening) of football, which is what yesterday pretty much looked like. I think the fact that Sunday mornings are so draining for me (in a good way), is what makes Sunday afternoons so great.<\/p>\n
Then I sit back on Monday and reflect back like I’m doing now and almost have to pinch myself and remember that I get paid for that<\/em>. I get to do that for my living…<\/p>\n…something I would almost (ALMOST!<\/em>) do for free. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
