Faith and Family

Faith and Family

Today is Sunday, August 4, 2013

Every Sunday, Myron and I go to church at Our Savior's Lutheran
here in Topeka, KS.

We participate in choir, helping serve coffee, greeting folks and various
other things we enjoy doing. 

We sing hymns, listen to the sermon (sometimes I even take notes)
and we greet folks.  We pick up friends and bring them to church when 
when they need a ride.  This is what we do. 

When fellow friends are missing, we make sure they are ok by a
phone call or a visit. 

Church is inspiring to me.  I did not grow up Lutheran so I enjoy
the liturgy, the sermon and all things that have to do with worship.
I am even on the Worship Committee.  It is a blessing to me.  I have
learned quite a bit.  Sometimes we take things for granted and learn
that it takes a lot to have a meaningful worship service.

A few years back, Myron and Mark (our son) used to go to different
churches during the summer to see how other fellow Topekans worship.
They have had some interesting experiences.  I am hoping they
can do that again some time.  I may even participate.

I am happy to say that my eldest son and family are going to church
and that is great. 

"Family" is important and where better to experience "family" than in
church where you can worship together and fellowship afterwards
with a cup of coffee and a friendly word. 

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things
not seen.  It's enough to move mountains, to have miracles happen and
a loving relationship with God and His son, Jesus.  Praise be to
God!

Have a great Sunday everyone.  Feel free to take a nap.  It's Sunday, a
day of rest.
