God was good to us this past weekend in the opportunities He gave us to spend time with friends from northeast OH. A kind friend of Trish's through a great shower for her and baby #3 on Saturday. Trish enjoyed seeing old friends from our days at WRGBC (in Macedonia, OH) and got a lot of pink to help transition our baby clothes wardrobe from boy stuff to frilly, cute girl stuff.
Then, on Sunday, our family trekked back to the blustery Cleveland area and enjoyed being back at WRGBC for a worship service. It was so great to see many friendly and familiar faces. We were reminded how many people are praying for us. It was special and touching to our hearts to be received so warmly after being away for a year. I was reminded how different it is to be in a familiar, warm environment. Most of our days are filled with initiating relationships with people we don't know where we receive a lukewarm reception. It was like a breath of fresh air to savor established friendships and relationships again.
I love what we are doing and wouldn't trade this opportunity for any other set of circumstances. Tasting the sweetness of genuine fellowship with loved brothers and sisters hastens my desire to establish those types of relationships in our new home town. May God help us and may our community be impacted by the loving relationships to come. Praise God for a great weekend and thanks for praying with us!
