Sometimes you just KNOW you are where you need to be. Today, I KNEW I was supposed to be in Sunday School. It was just what I needed to hear. We read in Ephesians 3:14-21. Paul is addressing the church at Ephesus, to discuss the church as a whole. The NKJV of the New Geneva Study Bible says the following: "The church is a building of people, grounded in the sure revelation of what God has done in history. The church is an organism where power and authority are exercised after the pattern of Christ. The church is an outpost in a dark world looking for the day of redemption. Above all, the church is the bride preparing for the approach of her husband." When I read this, I just smiled. As I sat in SS, and we talked about prayer and how and why we pray, I felt so grounded and sure. I felt at home, and I felt that I was JUST WHERE I NEEDED TO BE. I hope all of my family and friends were feeling the same way in their church today. I pray that you all were just where you needed to be. This world is dark and it is scary, but the light that Christ emits, brightens even the darkest corners, and prayer can bring us closer to that light. Prayer is designed to help us move closer to Him, by communing with Him and making our requests known to Him.
Father: Thank you for giving my family a church where we can learn more about your love. Thank you for everyone who was sitting around the table in SS today. I pray that you will bless each of them this week, and keep them all safe until we join up again next week. Thank you that I was just where I needed to be. AMEN!

I am very glad you were there also. It made my heart smile to see you walk through that door!! Love you!!
