24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Friday afternoon we sat up at The Master's Hands waiting on our monthly truck to come in. We were all in the coffee shop hanging out. Talking, laughing and just enjoying each others company. We see each other several times a week if not everyday. But, we rarely get a chance to just fellowship with each other with no interruptions. We have to take time to enjoy each others company. It can't be all work, we have to take time to fellowship. It recharges our batteries.
Then on Saturday, Steven was close to a melt down most of the morning. He had decided we needed to go to church and see everyone. I am not sure why he thought everyone would be there a day early. He really wanted to see Tami, Winnie, Bert and everybody else. He was craving the fellowship he gets on Sunday morning. He didn't want to wait, he wanted it now! He calmed down after getting a nap and didn't ask for it anymore.
Shouldn't we all be like that? Maybe not the meltdown, but the craving of fellowship. We need to crave being around other Christians and enjoying spending time with them. We need to remember that we all belong to one body and to each other. Romans 12:4-5 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Take Care and God Bless,
