Sundays are wonderful. but today even more so than usual. It's the day after my wife's birthday, and even more than usual, she's positively radiant in her new spring dress.
Two of our ministers stayed at our house last night, and we all had a great time. We made French toast for breakfast and headed off to our special meetings today where we heard wonderful things about faith, love, holiness, and our ability to understand, more deeply, God's love for all his children. I'm constantly amazed that, although I've been going to church my whole life, that over the last couple years, I've not only come to love learning more about the Bible and my faith, but also finding out how possible it is to really apply the lessons learned to my life each day.
It's more than the golden rule, and more than simply being there at church. It's about learning. It's about application. It's about loving every minute of it.
I'm not the evangelical type and I don't care for that approach too much. If I ask, please share with me, but please don't encroach on my personal and emotional space with unfounded condemnation and a dogmatic diatribe.
It's an incredible feeling to know that we have so many promises we can depend on, so many others who are seeking peace and increased faith in such a needy world. God offers us so much. We have so little to offer in return, but He only asks that we give the best that we have.
It's my hope that I can spend more time learning about these things each day.
