There are precious moments when you sit along side that unknown lady in her regular Sunday morning pew, open up those singing pipes and bellow with abandon, opening your heart to God. Oddly you can not hear your voice but it is her music you hear. It is not a sound but rather memories of the years of her journey, a joy and ache, a longing and peace, an intimacy you dare not intrude upon yet she has you by the heart and draws you in.
This horizontal edification unifies strangers worshiping the Father. As He hears and smiles and in turn, vertically returns His love.
Now that is pretty amazing. And the humans don't know each other yet.
And those that do know each other...its all good.
Yesterday was Home Group at our apartment. People who love each other offering love to God...it was not a God-moment. It was a God-day.
Yesterday before we opened up God's word, we shared our week. And then prayed for one another. Prayer was our song, lifting our pipes and bellowing our hearts to The Father. The entire time was so edifying.
He was among us though out the day as we learned about Paul's nephew's courage and our experiences in which one of our own actions made a difference.
A majority of the group enjoyed the day together. Morning brunch, meal, worship, area live opera and lots of fellowship. Not every worship day is so full but yesterday, loving each other, celebrating the love of friendship, being children of God and God the Father made it a special day indeed.
PS:
Varieties of individuals attend HG. However one of our human regulars made a comment that is sure to become a T shirt mantra, "Parasites come and go". It brought the house down!
