“Home is where the heart is!” With that idea in mind, I am “home” every Sunday as I worship with God’s spiritual family, for I am blessed to be able to follow my heart and the heart of God in my mission and ministry activities. This year, through eleven Sundays I have worshiped with eleven different congregations. What blessings God is overflowing into my life!
So far this year, I have spent the night in eight different Christian homes, visited and eaten meals in many more. All of these brothers and sisters in Christ have said “our house is your house.” I remember Jesus’ promise to his disciples that they will have hundreds of houses.
This week I am glad to be home with my family–able to spend time with Jan and with my children and grandchildren.
All of these come to mind as I think about home.
But today I am also thinking of the opportunity to spend time with my spiritual family at Park Plaza. I will worship with my spiritual family (English-speaking). I will spend time with my spiritual family (Spanish-speaking). And I will also attend my community group (a special subset of my Park Plaza spiritual family).
Today I am praying about home. I am praying about your home, and your family. I hope you have a great spiritual family and spiritual home in a local church. Do not hesitate to contact me if I can help you find a spiritual family!
