They kept turning off the highway into our gravel driveway and filling up the gravel parking lot. It was a misting overcast day. We had record rainfalls over the weekend dampening our outdoor plans. Still newcomers kept showing up. Many new families. I loved seeing all the children. What a joy to see those little bundle of joys bouncing around all over the place.
In the end our attendance doubled from normal weekends. People were excited. It was another great day. We sang. The gospel was presented. We ate afterwards. We sat down at tables visiting with people long after the meal ended. Some played games and others watched a Christian movie during the afternoon. We capped the day off with a prayer meeting and more fellowship. I especially loved the prayer meeting. United hearts pleading with God for His help. A beautiful way to end another great day.
I had the chance to meet several new families. I also reconnected with some children I had not seen since Vacation Bible School which blessed my heart. I love the little children. I saw more children present yesterday than I have since VBS. I saw old friends we've invited for months. I saw some who have been sick be able to gather with us for worship. It was another great day. A powerful day.
We have enjoyed many such days recently. Many signs of God's blessings. In dozens of little ways that we do not take for granted. There is life. There is enthusiasm. There is a hunger for God's presence and a renewed emphasis on prayer. All I can say is we enjoyed another great day.
