This morning we prayed for:
a daughter, for healing from her seizures;
a brother, for anchoring;
our new landlords, for blessing.
Yesterday I was reading Deitrich Bonhoeffer's "Life Together" and was moved by the idea in the opening chapter that, no matter the amount, small or large, it is truly a blessing to be involved in Christian fellowship. Whether one on one, a small group of 5 or 10, or a house of people who are able to live together in community. It struck me how blessed (and I never use that word lightly) we truly are, just the simple fact that we are able to live together as Christians when there are thousands of our brothers and sisters in the world who fear for their lives simply because the bear the name of Christ. How great a thing we have when we can openly tell others that we pray together on a daily basis when some of our Christian family risk losing property and "freedom" by the simple act of gathering together to worship the One True God. May we never take our fellowship for granted.
