January 22
When you are sitting in a room full of other potential life group leaders talking about how people in your life group will become your family. The people you count on for care, love, support, and encouragement...and a couple from your old life group texts you and says "Want to come over for dinner and play cards?" You have to smile and say "yes, we will join you at the table and we will bring the pizza!"
I am a big fan of time at the table. Time to refresh one another after a long week of hardships and trials. Time to encourage as we head into something scary and unknown. Time to share about Jesus! Every table looks a little different, tonight we were around a coffee table eating pizza. (A coffee table that was made by another member of our old life group.) As we converse about how life is changing as they enter their last week as just the two of them. In a week they will be welcoming their first child. As exciting as it is, it can be stressful, and sometimes a hug, sometimes a smile, sometimes a scripture, and always your presence can help to ease that stress. We are not alone in this Journey!
