Fantastic night with friends last night here at the house with Linds and Cora. We’re really blessed to have some great friends and amazing community together. We had some friends in from out of town, along with the in-town gang. We ate some chinese take-out then followed dinner up with personality profiles – which was hilarious – and phenominal homemade strawberry cheesecake courtesy of my buddy Joel.
It left me thankful for amazing friends. I’m a better husband, friend, Christ follower and leader as a result of the friendships and community that we have together. Simply amazing.
I’m a fan of recognizing the presence of God’s beauty in his creation. I usually limit this to the “natural” wonders of the world. I was thinking today though, this kind of fellowship is us living in the communion of the Spirit that I believe we were created to live in. There is striking beauty present in community. Fellowship together that is authentic, genuine and intimate is surprisingly powerful and inspiring. I found myself recognizing…this is good…its God’s creation and I often fail to recognize it as such.
And again, well done God.
