Hey John,
Home safe and sound. Sounder actually! Praise God!!
I wanted to tell you what your words did for me. At the airport you said the meetings were about praising him. Lifting Him up and praising Him. Just that! It set my thinking straight about meetings. I love them, but they had become a time where I went to get fed primarily, to stay in touch with family, to enjoy the music. When I stepped out of that selfish thinking, and really just made it about Him, it felt different! The message for some time now was “It’s not about you!”, and this weekend “Check your problems at the door”. I love that! When I was encumbered with the “weight of the world” I wasn’t able to put Him first and just praise Him. What an experience to be there just for Him! He let me praise Him and I’m so grateful. Grateful for right thinking.
I love to be around God’s people. To see how we are supposed to praise Him, to learn how to love each other and to observe how to live right. God blessed me by putting me in this family!
Thanks for all you do John!
Patty
