Thank you for your invitation to reflect. What a worthwhile endeavor. I’ve already been thinking about this…

Without hesitation, I can say that gathering with God’s people for worship in person has become increasingly valuable to us, and we missed it immensely during the months our church was able only to live-stream. In our day of such lofty technology which brought church live right into our family room, we worshipped truly but somehow incompletely. We are exceedingly grateful to God and to our church leadership and pastors for carrying on worship via live-streaming, and by God’s grace the church never missed a beat. However, now that we’ve reconvened, I see and experience afresh the beauty of the saints singing, praying, worshipping, sitting under Biblical preaching, all together. We greet, smile, laugh, cry, comfort, converse, and share meals together. And we reach out to those who are as yet unable to come.
Worship of God on earth is truly a foretaste of heaven.

May the Lord continue to bless you and your family, dear lady! We all appreciate you!

I have actually spent more quality prayer time and enjoyed online church. I feel the Lord has used this time to draw me closer to Him and my husband of 62 years. He is 88 years old and had a heart attack during this time and in hospital with no visitors for one week and received 2 stents. His recovery and us being together 24 hours daily has blessed me! We always worked and our quality time together was lacking as he also had a side business. This heart attack was another opening for me to talk to him about God. He is not a believer. We have a very small immediate family as our only child our son died from massive heart attack on his 50th birthday 7 years ago. Thank you for your daily blog and devotional. You are a blessing and inspiration.

It really did help me to focus and appreciate the year 2020. Thanks

Recently I have been thinking of my parents and what they endured during WW II. We have not even had a year of this and yet they had 4. When I hear myself complain about not being able to travel I think of my mom who never left the east coast; shortage of paper towels? Try a shortage of sugar or meat! When I pray & reflect on the past 8 months my clarity is the fact that I have not suffered enough to allow me to complain. I live on 2 golf courses so I play 5 times a week. Our weather in SoCal is perfect so we walk, hike and swim. God’s hands are on us everyday and he has blessed us beyond measure in good times and bad.
