Neglected

  We were hosting a time of praise and prayer at our home and there was a possibility one of the guests would want to play our piano.  True confession, it had been 12 years since I'd had our piano tuned.  Recognizing the need, I was hesitant to call the piano tuner knowing we had neglected this care for so long.   My husband and I tend to do the same thing with medical check ups.  One time visiting the eye doctor, whom I adore, she said, "Hmm. It looks like you haven't been here in 3 years." Yikes, so much for yearly check ups.  Mr. Opperknockety (my husband's name for the piano tuner, saying "Opperknockety only tunes once"..haha) graciously squeezed me in.  Y'all the top of the piano wouldn't even open. He tugged a little harder and up it came.  I slithered out of the room to let him work.  An hour later he told me he was finished.  After he left I sat down to play.  Here's the worst part.  The piano was dusty and the keys were filthy.  They

We are blessed to receive God's love.                                                                                John 4:7–12 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made mani

This Side of Heaven

 Y'all, of course the sweetest fellowship we have is with Jesus, but God also knew in our humanness we'd need some encouragement that has flesh on it. . ..that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ . 1 John 1:3  Recently I was speaking with a woman who was visiting our church. I had a point I wanted to make, but in this climate I didn't want to be offensive, so I  began by saying, "Are you really into Jesus?"  From our initial conversation I was 80% certain she was. " There is no joy like the joy of knowing one another in the Lord Jesus Christ.... Fellowship means, “to hold things in common”; those of us who have experienced the saving grace of God have much in common.
