Family Is The Only Word To Describe FCF

This has been a good weekend. The weather had something to do with it but not everything. Funny, last weekend here in central Alabama people were all bundled up and building snowmen. This weekend we were in short sleeves watching base ball practices. Only in Alabama!

For the most part I missed the snow last weekend, well almost missed it. We arrived home on "snow day" late afternoon from an overnight trip to Mississippi. Upon brining our car to a full stop in the garage with speed that I have only seen my wife move at while shoping she exited the car, took a straight path to the patio at the back of our home (shaded from the sun) where she found what she was looking and hoping for: enough snow to make a snow man. It was a tiny snow man for sure. However, Denise manage to locate snow, build the minature "Frosty", take his picture and post him on FB all within the time it took me to unload the luggage and other travel necessities from the car; 10 minutes tops. She amazes me...really. I know, it was a small tiny snow man...but she posed him after making him so she could get just the right shot for FB!

Anyway, as I was saying, this has been a good weekend. There was the home group meeting that took place Friday night. Family! That is the only way to describe the setting. We ate and had fellowship together, we worshiped our Lord, and we encouraged each other with genuine words and deeds that went with us from that place. It was special as always. We look forward to getting together again soon. Family! It is the only way to describe it.

Then Saturday morning some of us gathered at the soon to be home of one of our home group family to lend a hand in the move. The joyful and thankful look on the face of our friend as the task for that morning was completed spoke thanks enough. Meanwhile while we rested we had fellowship, laughing, talking, planning future gatherings. Family! It is the only way to describe it.

This morning, we gathered at Fullness once again to fellowship with and celebrate the Great Redeemer. Family! Together we sang songs, and spiritual hymns and received the Word of God from Mark Colvin who did an ecellent job! During this time we greeted each other with hugs, conversations, and laughter. We wept for joy too and at times danced and clapped our hands with more laughter and great joy as we were together. Family! it is the only way to describe what we have at Fullness Christian Fellowship!

It was a great weekend indeed! I can not wait until the next get together of this Family!
