It is time to load up the car and head to church! Now that is something I haven't been able to say in a while, since it is normally just my wife and me. Today we get to load up the car with grandchildren. It will make us later than usual, but that is fine with me! I'm sure the Lord won't mind either.
I look forward to church every Sunday and this week is made all the more special by the presence of one of my daughters and her little ones. I have been wanting to "show them off" for a long time. I take every opportunity to show the latest pictures of them from my phone, whether my friends ask to see them or not. It will be all the more exciting to have them with me... in real life (IRL) as they say.
God is delighted and wants us in his presence as well. I would be bold enough to say that he is even more excited every time we gather in his name than I am about my family joining me today. He wants us to dwell in his presence, not only on Sundays, but every day of the week.
It's Sunday morning, so load 'em up and head to church!
Deuteronomy 30:10 (NLT) - "The LORD your God will delight in you if you obey his voice and keep the commands and decrees written in this Book of Instruction, and if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul."
