so grateful...

I am so grateful, today, for a church family who:

-love our Lord and seek after Him with their whole hearts.

-are committed to love one another, even when it is difficult.

-prize unity (Ephesians 4) and humility.
(As a side note, I'm also grateful for the book of Ephesians,
where I've been stuck for the past couple of months and am lovin' it!)
 -will speak the truth, but always in love.

-submit to one another, in love.

-offer lavish forgiveness and grace.
-truly love those who aren't always so loveable.

Thank you, Jesus, for this place!
