Day 9

Something you're proud of in the past few days...

I am proud of the home group that I have become involved in recently. I will be honest in saying it's often hard to find good friends that really do life together, walking along side one another and truly being deeply involved in each others lives. I find it easy to volunteer to help out a new mom so that she can rest, let a friend borrow a car, throw a party for a friend who has never had a birthday party becuase her birthday is Christmas day, to take someone to the doctor because they have a flat and so on and so on. This comes easy to me and I find great joy in it. I have been discouraged in years past when I've realized I've done a lot for others, but when I've needed someone there was no one around aside from my family of course. This kind of thing does not necessarily come natural to all, but I think it's what the church body should really look like. I believe that's what living in community with one another is all about.

Recently, I have seen this displayed in many ways in our home group. We traded cars with another couple because they needed to make a trip or two to the hardware store. All the while, another couple decided to let a couple borrow their spare car as Grandma would be using on of their vehicles to take care of the kids while mom had new training at work and dad had school. The ladies stepped up to throw a baby shower for one of the girls who will be a new mom soon and she doesn't know a lot of people in the area as they just moved here. I constantly over hear people offering to help out with the kids of another couple or volunteer to dog sit so someone doesn't have to board their dogs. It's been such an encoruagement to watch everyone come together and love on each other the way I believe God has called us to. God has blessed us beyond measure in this homegroup!

So with all that said, I am proud of our homegroup!!
