I love our Kinship

For those of you who don't know, a kinship is a home group. We meet once a week to worship, pray and encounter God. I just have to say how much I love our kinship. We are a bunch of hungry people, a little bit crazy at times ... but we love Jesus, and we love each other. The following are the highlights for me of this week's meeting.
-Kristi led worship. It was so sweet. A touch of heaven.
-Sparrow. (She is a highlight every week though)
-Kirsten who is two. Each time Tom would read from the Bible or say something with passion while he was teaching she would "read" from her book or talk loudly like Tom but in a language only she could understand!
-Jeryn ( a 3 year old boy) coming in during a moment of sweet silence and announcing "Daddy, I have to Poo!"
-Praying for everyone in a prayer circle. Two or three people walked around inside a circle of others who blessed them and asked for more of the Spirit to manifest in their lives. He did in a variety of ways. ( I wonder what the neighbours thought).
-A fire in the bathroom! Thank goodness for smoke alarms and that Aaron still has eyebrows!
-Amy feeding me chocolate cake. ( I was holding Sparrow you see).
-Suzette holding me and loving me. I needed that.
-Everyone signed up for the Christmas hamper and we get to bless a needy family, richly.
-Larah ( grade four) cutting and passing out cake. She just saw what needed to be done and did it with such a serving heart and kindness
These and the others in my kinship are my brothers and sisters in Christ and they are so beautiful.

I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. Ephesians 1: 17-18.
