Sundays in our Family

As a family Sunday is our day to get together with other Christians and worship our God. The children have their Sunday clothes and we have just bought O5 his own Bible to take with him to Sunday School. On the way to Church today I asked O why we went to church. He replied that he didn't know, so I asked him what we did at church and he thought and said, "We sing and pray and go to Sunday School"...and on went the discussion. It is so exciting having the opportunity to share why we do what we do with our boy...he is growing up so fast.

Church for us is potentially quite stressful, but we persevere...we choose to makethe worship service a part of our lives when it would be so much easier to stay home. We want our children to grow up knowing that God is important in our lives everyday...and that we are able to have a special celebration on Sundays as well. So today we celebrate Sunday...we celebrate God...we celebrate the freedom to worship together as a family...and we even celebrate God's goodness in making raisins...because without raisins our precious two year old twins would struggle to "make it through" the worship service until creche begins.

We also are very thankful for wonderful people who love our children and also impact into their lives in our Christian family...Mr E who teaches O5's Sunday School class and has already won a fan, the 12 year old girls who willingly cuddle babies, read books and play with the little ones in the creche, the lovely older lady who genuinely thinks my fiery red-headed daughter is beautiful and offers a word of encouragement when I have to walk out of the worship service carrying a very loudly screaming princess, and the many others who show God's love for our family.

So roll on next Sunday when we can celebrate in this special way again.
