Us 

Hey Pastor John,

I hope you and Barbara are feeling better.  This has been really something with all the sickness the past couple of weeks.  I wanted to tell you what Jesus did for me.

When we first started getting messages about everyone testing positive it was so sad.  It broke my heart to read each message.  When things like this happen everything in me worries, and I began asking Jesus, “oh know, what have I done wrong?”  Then the worry just takes over.  

The other day I was talking to Jesus about all the sickness, and he flipped something inside for me.  Instead of feeling worry and dread I began feeling so much love.  I would read messages of someone testing positive but right behind it I would see messages of someone asking, how can I help?  The love we have for each other just flooded my heart.  I hated to see all who were sick but something about the sweet, gentle love I was feeling was special and was from Jesus.

I know that we should “check ourselves”, that is a good thing.  But the love that I have felt and seen goes beyond this world.  I’m so thankful to be a part of this family.  I really do feel like Jesus has put us here together.  Through good and bad, through sickness and health, we have been joined together!

I’m looking forward to being together again! red heart

I have felt the same love that Michelle talks about. I also felt the positive, glad feeling that “we’re in this boat together”! If our fellowship causes us to become ill so be it! I’ll take fellowship with illness over no fellowship any day!
